A chapter shall have the power to investigate the conduct of any member whenever it sees fit. For breaking any of the Laws and Customs of Theta Tau, or in any way acting in an unfraternal manner in violation of the oath of membership, a member may be suspended from membership by a chapter after having been tried and found guilty in accord with the provisions detailed in Theta Tau Bylaws, Chapter VI. Upon suspending a member, the chapter shall immediately notify the Central Office. The Executive Council may expel a student member after suitable investigation. A suspended member has no Theta Tau rights except the right of appeal. Please refer to the Disciplinary Action Checklist to ensure adherence to our laws in this regard.

It is far better to prevent a potential problem through early counselling with the member by the officers and Adviser than to have to try to resolve it later through disciplinary action. Addressing these issues sooner rather than later can more successfully lead to and understanding and agreement with the member. In contrast, procrastination more often leads to suspension and expulsion.
