When good sisters go bad
We've seen it happen to several different sororities (seems to be more prevalent in sororities than in fraternities, but the same basic question still applies)... disgruntled members post information about their ritual online. What, if anything, ever happens to these ladies?
I know there are people who post pieces of rituals that aren't theirs, but I think the majority of the times ritual is online it's because of the sisters themselves. (Kinda like how business-theft is most often because of the employees.)
I guess I'm just curious as to what happens to the people who post information. Can anything really be done about it? Does anyone here know if their HQ has someone who monitors the net to make sure nothing gets out that shouldn't be? And if something's discovered, what can be done about it?
Not trying to stir the pot at all. I know this can be a touchy subject. Just curious.

It depends on the organization's code of conduct.
Generally speaking, if a member is proven to have put certain information out there the outcome for some organizations is expulsion.
Yes, there are organizations with national representatives who monitor certain websites.

Which, IMO, is a silly consequence since the member probably doesn't care about her affiliation anymore, or she wouldn't have posted the info in the first place.

Oh and I don't believe that GOOD members go bad. Either they were a sucky sister in the first place or they have a mental disorder that makes them unable to govern themselves. Usually the former.
We all have different personalities and different ways of handling life but there will always be some things that are completely out of the question, which is why our national bodies have codes of conduct and so forth.

Of course the person cares. The opposite of love isn't hate (posting ritual), it is apathy. Disappear like the rest of the inactives/depledgers if you don't care anymore.
The real point is that their affiliation status is taken out of the person's hands. You will be surprised at how many people share ritual and remain a member in good standing on record.
