We try to avoid going overboard on fines and I think it worked pretty well. The only ones I ever had to deal with (as an officer) were people who got fined for not cleaning the house and missing initiation. We tried to be reasonable, pretty much if you told us ahead of time that you couldn't be there you were excused.
ALL of our fines were in our bylaws and voted on by our members. We never randomly pulled fines out of the air.
