Yeah, because it's SOOOO EASY to go after mom and dad and force them to pay.

I like the threat of being sent to collections. I think the threat is one thing that forces people to pay-up. because if you just say "we're going to go after mom and dad" it makes it very difficult for a chapter. Besides what if Mom and dad don't own a business? Then what?

Fees might be a pain in the tush, but i think its not only worth it, but necessary to pay, because you DO have a higher collection rate than what you would if you just begged and pleaded members to pay.
