Do you have present/active advisors?
My chapter has both a points and a fine system (not everything is fineable but meetings are).
We have rules on how many excuses you can turn in per semester for mandatory events. If excuses are not turned in on time, they are unexcused and consequences occur as a result. Extreme circumstances are the only exception, and that is by advisor approval. Class excuses must be accompanied by a class schedule/appropriate documentation.
When I was active we had trouble with meeting attendance. It was being held on Monday nights at 8pm. Rumor has it people started purposely scheduling Monday night classes to get out of coming to meeting. We fixed that problem by moving meeting to Sunday nights at 8pm, thus class was no longer an acceptable excuse.
This really can go back to chapter climate/culture. Do you have a climate/culture within the chapter that promotes personal accountability & responsibility? This is something that should be strived for across the board in all chapter areas, not just attendance.
