I have to disagree with this. I see that you are "new", but stealing is STEALING! Again, if so and so needed the money, there are things such as loans, there are paycheck, payday places all over the place. The person could have asked his or her soror/ fraternity brother for assistance, direction, or guidance.
This is the very reason we have issues going on in our orgs AND society at large. Get rid of the rif rafs. Thieves belong in jail. Obviously those who are ripping off their chapter, etc. aren't thinking about the chapter or the MEMBERS of the chapter, or even those they serve. They are only thinking about THEMSELVES...HELPING THEMSELVES!
When are we going to stop making excuses for people and their inappropriate behaviors?
Yeah, follow the procedures to investigate. If he or she is found guilty...YA GOTTA GO. Get the heck out of dodge, then find a nice spot at the local jail. Don't forget to go for their letters. If you are woman/man enough to do the crime, you are woman/man enough to do the time and accept whatever consequences follow.
Please, don't say anything about being sisterly. If it were my chapter member, obviously she wasn't thinking about being sisterly when she took the $$$.
Hopefully, Soror Prayerfull this is a hypothetical situation.
