$25 for a fine??
Man, we had to pull teeth to get $5 out of someone. I'm so old. At any rate, if this is something that your HQ told you isn't allowed you should definitely speak up about it.
I know what Leslie means though, I think every group has the weenies who say "I'm deathly ill" and then seem to make a miraculous recovery at the bar. I personally never understood people who pay dues and then only go to meetings.
Going with Lana's mention of a point system - that is a more positive way to do it rather than fining people for everything. If you don't achieve a certain % of points you cannot attend the date party, formal, whatever. I know we also used to say that if you knew you could not show up to an event (primarily mixers), either vote no or abstain. We all want to socialize and meet the fraternities but if half the chapter is going to be wet blankets cause they're worried about tests and such, or blow off the mixer, it is better to not even go and have the fraternity have a bad time.
OT to GMUTeke - I know Reagan is the president, who's the king?
