What do you do when a Brother makes a mistake?

$250 isn't that big of a deal. Spending a little money on himself is part of the benefit of being treasurer as long as it doesn't get out of control (no, I have never been treasurer, that's how a lot of houses I know treat it though). Occasionally drop the house card on a bar tab, no big deal, just buy me some drinks on it too!

I guess it may be different when you're dealing with a house whose semester budget is about $400k (like it is here) then with small chapters though. We have about 160 active with over $2,000 in dues a semester, so a few hundred here and there really doesn't hurt anything and it might as well be in the budget because you just kind of assume it will happen.

CrackerBarrel;
You seem to either be changing topic of OP or mis-understanding it.
Theft is stealing, not "business use".
OP seems, to me at least, stating that the person used monies for their own use rather than for the house or Brotherhood.

I'm not saying that he used it for brothers stuff. The chapters I'm familiar with it's just kind of assumed that the treasurer uses a little bit of money for personal use. I was saying, not for socials or anything, just at the bar if he throws down the house card the brothers he's with will generally expect a drink or two off of it as well though.

I found out that a Sorority's treasurer stole $300 dollars and was pretty much kicked out. Is that the right thing to do? or is there a better alternative? In another situation, another Sorority treasurer spent over $10,000 on clothes and accessories. On my campus, a certain Frat's eboard was caught in a money laundering and drug trafficking case. What would your organization, chapter, or nationals do to the brother/sister? Please be specific, if possible? Thanks.

CrackerBarrel;
Do you see any major difference between the above OP and yours below?

I really doubt this is true. Are there many members of elite chapters who don't have their parents picking up their bar tabs? Any members?
