In my chapter, if you have a scheduling conflict with a mandatory event, such as meeting, philanthropy, or something along that route (social events aren't mandatory), you email/call/text the secretary 24 hours in advance (there are exceptions for last-minute emergencies). If it is a valid excuse they you are excused from attendance. They also collect copies of class schedules at the beginning of the sememster for verification. No one expects you to miss class for meeting, a very important workshop or seminar that's school/work related, a special event, or some work or family related emergency that's just stupid.
