We're looking for realistic enforcement of this policy. We have the policy of "no going to parties if you haven't paid", but realistically, no one is going to tell their pledge brother that they need to leave the party b/c they haven't paid. So I want to find another enforcement mechanism.

If you're going to be pussies about reinforcing the policy, people are going to take advantage of you. And it's going to snowball. Why would Joe bother paying his social dues when Jack never pays his and gets to go to everything anyway?
Unless you want your chapter to end up closing due to money problems, someone's got to be the enforcer and have everyone hate him a while. If these guys have money for coffee or porn or golf clubs or whatever it is men spend money on, they've got the $$ to pay their f'ing social dues.
The alternative is to GREATLY scale down the number of parties/type of parties you have, thereby tanking your reputation on campus. Tell guys that if they don't want to pay, fine - they will soon be proud members of a dry fraternity.
