Hi Everyone,
About the dues - I have a suggestion. A community service group I belong to has a "pay as you play" type of system. There are no dues to be a member. Though, if you want a t-shirt, you pay for it. Want to go to the annual trip to Disneyland? You pay for it. Want an embroidered club jacket? You pay for it. Club dinners? You guessed it! You pay or you don't eat!
Get the picture?
This works out really well for us and I think it may work for Gamma Chi as well. For example, the person in charge of GC t-shirts will take orders and accept the money for it. She or he will not order one for you if you don't send the money. This also helps for people who are on tight budgets and don't want to have mandatory dues. Of course, we do have to trust the person taking the money...then again, people send their money to strangers on eBay all the time.
