Since my guys obviously don't feel the need naturally, lighting a little fire under them couldn't really hurt. It'll definitely test their commitment and if they want to drop, I guess it's not the end of the world; we'll get more in the fall.
To use parties as the only incentive gives, in my opinion, the wrong impression of what we stand for. I'm set on the "points" idea, regardless of potential negative side effects while people get used to it, because I feel like it's for the best in the long run. I'm wondering whether any chapters have incentives/punishments that are effective other than fines and social probation?

True, but if the responsibilities outweigh the priveledges, it becomes a total waste of time. Which is why your brothers aren't showing up when you want them to. Basically, if I were your brother, what I would basically tell, if I could even be bothered, is that if I'm not cool enough for the friday night party (you're college and it's friday night, if you're not partying something is wrong with you) then I'm not cool enough to go with you to SoE.
