Fines as Punishment

In my chapter we have a set monatary sum that is fined to each member for unexcused absences. For example, if someone misses chapter without a valid reason they are charged $10 the first time time, $20 the second time, $40 the third time, etc. Fines are also issued for missing community service, recruitment events, ritual, etc.

The problem that we're having is that some girls would rather just pay the fine than attend. We recently had a mandatory community service event and some girls showed up and then decided that they would rather pay the $20 fine than participate. We've considered some alternative punishments like suspending girls who don't show from socials or requiring them to clean/paint/do things around the house. We just need something more effective than fining.

(I know that girls should participate because they want to and that it's the whole point of being in a sorority/fraternity but we all know that isn't the case with every person who joins. And this isn't a HUGE problem in my chapter but we'd like to curb it before it gets even bigger)
