The only meetings I would consider making 'mandatory' events would be formal chapter meetings, pledging ceremonies and initiations. Unless you have a valid excuse (class, work, family emergency), you are expected to be at the meeting at the appropriate time in the appropriate place.
Before swinging the proverbial baseball bat and/or 2x4 by threatening fines or disciplinary board hearings, may I suggest setting up a merit/demerit points system. For example:
+10 points for paying dues and fees on time
-2 for paying 2-5 days late
-5 for paying 6-10 days late
-10 for paying 10+ days late
-10 for returned checks to the chapter
+5 for attending regular chapter meeting
+10 for attending and participating in rituals
and so on... Based on the total number of points earned in the semester or year determines eligibility for running for office, preference points for housing, etc.
Anyone else have any other ideas?
