I'm not a big fan of mandatory events outside of: recruitment, rituals (Initiation, New member ceremony), chapter meeting, chapter's main philanthropy event, and, for us, IRD (our Founder's Day event with alumna).
I agree that if a member is excused, there is no fine.
I encouraged the passing of the sheet of paper to vote and if you voted yes, you are expected to be there method for mixers and sisterhoods.
Since there are a lot of chapter meetings, I also like when chapters give a certain number of "free" misses- 1 personal, 3 study or something like that. It has to be tracked though! And yes, the members who skip chapter regularly will also be the ones who don't come to events because they don't want to do it or they didn't know about it. If they aren't showing up to vote on events, then nobody knows they don't want to do it and they aren't there to vote NO. Then they complain.
