I brought this up because like someone above me said, it's actually a big problem. Who knows how often it happens? The main issue I was wondering is... how do you deal with that person?

My philosophy of a brotherhood/sisterhood is to make them better people. By kicking them out, you never really showed that unconditional love. I thought a better resolution would be to educate that person on why it is wrong and how much they've hurt the fraternity/sorority and its individual members. Lastly, I'll give a strong, but reasonable, sentence to that person. Does anyone feel this is to idealistic of a process?

Thanks for all the replies.

I'm coming to the conclusion that the sorority treasurer who stole $300 is a friend or your girlfriend.

Dude, she stole money that wasn't hers. If the WORST thing that happens to her is that she gets kicked out of her sorority, she's pretty lucky. If she did this at her job, she might be facing jail time.
