We had fines, but found that they didn't work in many cases, and some just couldn't pay in others. We started implimenting a system where after one unexcused absence, you were placed on social probation, until such a time as you made up the absence with work. Work parties are the only things left with fines. On social probation, if we were to have a party, one of two things would happen. a) you would have to stay away from the party until your workshift, work your shift, and then leave the party again, or b)have to work the ENTIRE party, and though you could have fun, the ammount of fun you could have was reduced by your duties. We also have monthly brother BBQ's, where we spend $100's or so, and cook up steak, pork chops, corn on the cob, shish kabab's, and a vegitarian meat option. Being on probation will cause you to have to miss the BBQ...but still clean up afterwords. there is a discussion of the house about losing voting rights for one meeting for every unexcused meeting absence as well.
