I would caution you against restricting the social priviledges of people with excused absences. Sometimes people have immediate family members who are getting married, having a baby, being baptized, etc. Some families can't be flexible on these plans or they didn't consider that it was same time as recruitment. Members who have these kind of obligations who are socially punished just end up feeling resentful and pissed off because they had no choice -- often times people would rather do recruitment than family stuff! Recruitment is not a time to lower morale!

Members with unexcused absences are a different story. For every two days they miss, they probably shouldn't be able to go to a social event with alcohol. If they are gone during the day, they should have to stay in every night of spirit week and help out with cleaning, decorating, organizing, etc.
