I agree monetary fines aren't a deterient when a chapter is blessed with financially well off alums who are willing to pay it or their members can afford to budget for them through dues. Social probation is a huge deterient, but because it is so extreme it should be used only for the worst and/or repeat offenders IMO.
Our campus has primarily gone to community service hours. New members are specifically banned from being the ones to do them since they were not responsible for the infractions. This requires someone in Panhellenic to work/follow up with the org that is being helped and make sure that's actually who has done the work.
Years ago a chapter was placed on social probation due to some major Recruitment Infractions, though I never heard whether it was from the University or their I/natl (and I know it was kicked up to their I/natl). In addition they were required to send their (previous) Recruitment Team to make a presentation at a spring Panhellenic Recruitment Advisor and Officer meeting. It wasn't quite so much an apology as a "This is what we learned from our mistakes and why you shouldn't do what we did." sort of thing. I thought it was an effective learning experience for both those who presented and those who heard it.
