Alright, back to the original topic...
Having been a member of my chapter's disciplinary committee, I learned some very important things. The majority of the time, when someone behaves like this, they are having personal problems with which they need help.
Disciplinary meetings are not supposed to mean that you are "in trouble." It means that your behavior is inappropriate (e.g. impairment of chapter unity) and you are going to work with the committee to find a solution.
In years past, the typical actions taken by the committee were fines, loss of voice/vote, and loss of social privleges. It was when we looked beyond punishments and focused on being constructive that we really made progress.
The discipline committee should let her know that they really care about her, but they are concerned. Try to get to the root of the problem. For example, maybe she is struggling with self-esteem issues and needs to see a counselor. Maybe she had some personal event at home and needs a support network.
The only way to find out is to ask her.
