What should and must be done, is expell them asap. Contact the National H Q to make them aware of the situation and ask for guidance if the chapter feels they cannot handle internally and needs help! It is better to get rid of a few bad apples rather than lose the whole Chapter. That benefits no one.

This is where alumni involvement plays a key role. If this chapter has advisers who are plugged in, who undergrad members can all bring these sorts of issues to if leadership isn't managing things, then unless those alumni are also terrible people (I assume they are not), then this never becomes a national headline.
If we as alumni want our chapters to be successful, we need to invest enough face-time with the chapter to where at a minimum, members know that if things get out of hand, they can contact you directly. I would think this would be especially true for SAE now since with their no longer having any sort of pledging or associate membership, they have no opportunity to weed out bad potential members until it's really too late.
