Absolutely Tom,
That is the quickest way to get into debt withthe GF. Accurate membership records are a must. What often happens is that the Gamma fills out the roster, say Steve has left school. Marks that on his roster sheet. Sends to IHQ. The dont charge for that semester, but the following semester, IHQ thinks he might have returned to the chapter, so they relist all the "left schoolers" for the last 3 semesters. If you dont send the roster back by the deadline, you get charged for everyone on the roster. So while you might only have a chapter of 35 men, you pay for 60. Happened to us in the mid 90's. Its HELLA pain in the ass trying to get the numbers back in order. Sometimes I suspect the GF drags its heels on these things on purpose.
My 2 cents
