It's a VERY common practice for the Greek Advisor or other student affairs representative to receive a copy of all police reports on Monday in order to specifically look for incidents involving fraternity or sorority members. The Greek Advisor could have easily contacted the Chapter Advisor so the issue could be handled within the organization.
Also, I'm sure most sororities have under their causes for discipline (or whatever) a clause about violating federal, state, local, or university/college laws. That's a no-brainer that your membership would be removed for that, IMHO. Finally, it doesn't suprise me that a Chapter Advisor has the power to discipline members. Sure, we would rather defer to the chapter members to self-adjudicate, but sometimes the situation calls for swift and/or severe punishment. This could have been a case where chapter officers or judicial board was unwilling to take this action but since the chapter was previously under fire, the Chapte Advisor had to step in and override their decision. Pefectly acceptable.
