Enforcing payments usually means having to suspend the membership of a member or two before people start to take it seriously and you still don't get the money owed to you.
Pull some hard numbers to make your case. Figure out what that 5% means in dollars for your chapter and how much has gone uncollected.

Agreed. I'm our chapter advisor and I also happen to be a lawyer. Those Omega Fi contracts are pretty airtight, and I haven't had to yet, but I may be taking a young man to small claims court pretty soon, and with the contract he signed, it'll be easy peasy for me to get a judgment.
