There are very few reasons to miss Chapter meetings:
Illness
Work
Classes.
If they are not making meetings, then why are They Members?
If they cannot make meetings just because they dont want to come, then why should they be allowed to attend Social Functions?
Meetings are when all or most members can be together and discuss The Chapter. If there is nothing major to discuss, then keep the meeting short.
It is also a time that after the meetings there can be an impromtu social gathering
If it is just a Bitch session, then who wants ot come.
Greek Life is supposed to be fun, that is why We are called Social Greek Organizations!
