Welcome to GC! I'm an alum that is up @ JWU in Providence right now for school (one more year to go).

How big is your chapter?

A point system where you get a certain # of points for showing up to things, and you need to have a min, amount of points to attend socials, formal, etc might help as logn as you enforce this.

For meetings, I have also heard of doing something like "Sister of the Week", which might help. Also, how about getting cheap, $5 gift cards to a restraunt/etc and taping it before the meeting under a random seat? Or the same idea, but with $10 off of dues, if you can afford that as a chapter. Or making little "goodie bags" with a pen/little notepad and some candy?

What is your new member program like right now? How long is it? When I was NME, we got our girls in within the six weeks that we had from national, and they knew what they needed to know. If you want, I can see if I have the week by week break down for you, or go ahead and re-create it.

I strongly disagree wtih fines, just because most college students are broke as it is4. If you do to choose to fine though, make thef ines reasonable amount, and not something that you know that the sisters won't be able to pay.
