I don't know if this might work for your chapter because I don't know what type of organization you belong to... but, my chapter of Delta Sigma Pi (business coed fraternity) would give a monetary incentive for members who paid their semester dues early.
For example, if the semester's dues were $90, they would only charge $75 for those who paid early. After that "early period" was over, it was the regular $90. After the due date, there was a monthly penalty for late dues.
Arrangements could be made, for example, if you didn't get paid until a week after the due date, you could let the treasurer know and they wouldn't charge you the late fees as long as you paid within a reasonable amount of time.
It's a different type of organization from your regular fraternities/sororities so I don't know if it would work with your org, but both chapters I was part of almost never had problems collecting money because most everyone paid early to get the discounted rate.
