When the Hatchet, the student newspaper of George Washington University (GWU), printed an article about the fraud charges against him on Nov. 8, Meinert resigned from the fraternity and withdrew from the Extension School.
Sigma Chi members said they hadn't seen him since.
According to the Harvard University Police Department, no one at Harvard has filed a criminal complaint against Meinert.
But Meinert's alleged crimes did affect students at GWU, where Meinert was a popular student before his arrest.
Prosecutors said Meinert illegally financed a spring break trip to Europe by using a friend's social security number to obtain a loan.
According to a finding of fact issued by D.C. judge Susan Weber Wright in October, Meinert also wrote dozens of bad checks over a two-year period beginning in 1997.
Meinert also established false accounts at D.C.-area credit unions, paying for them with checks which later bounced.
