The other side of that coin is, what if you have a wedding or something to go to that weekend and are unable to attend formal? Then you've paid for something you didn't get to participate in. And that sucks.
How does a chapter plan a formal if they have everyone paying as they go? What if, at the last minute, or whenever, a large number of members decided they couldn't afford to go to formal, or whatever and aren't going to pay? Then, the formal is at the local VFW with a guy playing the accordian? I just think budgeting ahead, and most importantly, giving every member the right to participate in all chapter activities is important. Yes, it might suck if you can't go one year because of a family wedding or whatever. But you've got four years (usually) and you will hopefully make it to the other 3. That's just my opinion, and I guess that's why I'm a Theta!
I just believe in full disclosure, that's all.
