Most schools now require student organizations to deposit their funds
or money with the school comptroller or in a student activity bank
account. It was probably developed with the aforementioned situation in
mind.
In any case, all chapters should consider having either:
1) accounts with the school which makes money stealing hard
or 2) double signatory accounts with the advisor having the second
signature
Their is a legal counsel at the National Office that can advise you about
legal matters. However, your best bet is to work within the school to
track down this individual and the chapter money. Usually, there is a
judicial process in place or some sort of process through the Dean of
Students office where students can be held liable for matters ranging from
academic dishonesty to financial matters.
At my school,a person who was successfully charged through the judicial
system could have their records frozen...ie class registration, ability to
get transcripts etc. Even if the student graduated or left school, they
would be unable to have transcripts sent anywhere nor able to get their
degree.
