Maybe there's something so obvious I haven't thought of it yet but I need something that can be effectively enforced to "punish" members and get the needed number of bros at events.
I've seen a lot of posts regarding points systems sororities use, but fraternities are run by a completely different set of rules. Any ideas you have will be greatly appreciated.

The problem you're having isn't that brothers aren't showing up, it's that brothers have no reason to show up to anything. You said it yourself, you don't party that much.
Why on earth would anyone show up to some SoE bs, especially if they get no benefit. And you can spare all that PC horseshit about how fraternities aren't just about partying. No, they're not. But that will ALWAYS be one of the main reasons people join and it always has been.
If you can't even get together on your own to knock a few back, then why on earth SHOULD anyone feel bad for not doing community service or whatever?
One more thing, if you go ahead with point system, since that something sororities do, you will loose potential members.
