It was over 7 years, but no one noticed almost $3 million go missing. I didn't know a single sorority chapter could have $3 million total, and certainly not so much they wouldn't miss it.

When I was in school, our chapter was broke. Guess I never realized how much decades worth of alums will donate.

Yeah. It’s hard to believe someone could embezzle that much without it being noticed. Always, always, always have someone without access to the bank accounts reconcile the bank statements. Or at least review them from time to time.

Hell yeah.. a lot of those sororities have similar revenue to a small country club. 300 members paying $400/month with food and boarding on top of that.

They aren’t all doing multi-million dollar additions because they’re going broke.

I used to really cringe when I sent checks to Betty

In Oxford. Turns out it was cringeworthy.

It's very interesting that the national sorority did not demand that the local house corporation go thru an audit. My wife is head of her sorority's house corporation in Oxford. Their auditor writes all the checks (which must be approved by 2 individuals).

My dad had a small business for years and an accounting firm that kept the books. BUT, every year he had a completely independent accountant come in and check those books. That accounting firm was family friends but he always had their work audited, told them it was nothing personal, it was business and they understood. Sure it cost him some extra bucks every year but no money was ever stolen......
