WASHINGTON - The former executive director of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority and her husband have pleaded guilty to charges of embezzling over $150,000 from the historic women s organization.
43-year-old Jeanine Henderson Arnett and her husband 47-year-old Diallo Arnett pleaded guilty on April 20 to bank fraud. The charge carries a penalty of up to thirty years in prison and a fine of up to $1,000,000. While Delta Sigma Theta and its members were committed to a mission of public service, the defendants were committed to a mission of personal benefit, stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars to use for their own pleasure said acting U.S. Attorney Channing D. Phillips in a statement. The defendants – and others who steal from non-profit organizations to enrich themselves – will be caught, prosecuted, and punished for the damage they cause.
