Are the sisters who owe outstanding dues still members in good standing?
They shouldn't be. Furthermore, if they aren't paying their dues, they shouldn't really be allowed to attend events (mixers, formals, etc) because dues *pay* for those events.
If it helps, work out payment plans with them. Sometimes it's intimidating to know you owe a ton of money, but it makes it easier if they know they can pay a little at a time.
Like 33 said, cut unnecessary things like t-shirts.
When you're thinking about social ideas, try to find things that are less costly. Can you reuse decorations from a past mixer? Maybe have some low-key sisterhood nights ?
