Congratulations. And here are a few suggestions.

First, you might want to make sure that you separate mandatory meetings & events from other 'general' or 'social' meetings and or events etc.

While you may still award or take away points for mandatory events, as the case may be, it is very important that every member understands that mandatory events mean just that - mandatory.

Be clear. That if they do not meet the mandatory requirements for the chapter and the GLO - i.e. attending X number of required mandatory events, GPA, dues paid by a certain time, etc. - they may be suspended, put on probation or even expelled - regardless of how many points they may have. What ever is appropriate for the situation per your chapter's and GLO's by-laws.

The other suggestion would be to form a committee to finalize the point system. Try to have every class represented on the committee as well. And solicit ideas from the general membership too. Once it's finalized, then have the whole chapter approve.

It may be that you will have to start the whole process and even develop the guideline or frame for the point system. Yet if you solicit additional input from the general membership - regardless if you get any input or not - it may go a long way to getting everyone to buy into the system.

Best of luck.
