Motivate or punish?
My house has 20 guys, and most are pretty lazy. Our school has an annual Standards of Excellence (SOE) binder due, as I'm sure all of yours do, to prove that we do more than just party. We need a minimum if 65% to pass, which shouldn't be hard, but less guys care than are on our exec board.
Points can be gotten for SOE for things such as "Send 50% of your chapter to (school hosted presentation) on (topic)" or even for having 25% participate in an event during Greek Week. There are only 4 other guys in my house that I can rely on to show up for anything, but we're annoyed that we're the ones that always have to show up to these things, and it's sometimes not enough. They're not always exciting but someone has to go and since nobody else will, we do.
So here's my point: we're enacting a "points system" in which we give one point to every event, announced at meeting, and those 3 with the least points have to be Sober Bros (starter idea). There are problems with this, namely that we don't even party that often. I feel like there needs to be something more than that, something that'll really hit home with people, but we can't fine members. Maybe there's something so obvious I haven't thought of it yet but I need something that can be effectively enforced to "punish" members and get the needed number of bros at events.
I've seen a lot of posts regarding points systems sororities use, but fraternities are run by a completely different set of rules. Any ideas you have will be greatly appreciated.
