I agree, collections is a drastic step, but on occasion, they are a godsend for the overworked (and underpaid) officers.
Kevin true about underpaid officers.

We as a Chapter went through the payment to the Treasure. But being a Brother, it seemed to be hard to ask for the money and then not getting it still!

H C decided to take over payments and contracts then write a check to Treasurer.

It ended up as one of our sharpest finance Alums came up with Omega, we voted on the best way to go. It is a cotract written and signed by both the member and parents who will have to be responsible for monies owed. Why should this be any different than paying college monies owed?

It is a debt owed, period. Is that harsh? No, because if a member does not pay His/her monies, the other Brothers/Sisters have to pay for it. Now, where is the sympathy for them who may not have it?

If money is late, then it should be taken as Kevin said, they are not allowed to come to any and all functions until money is paid.

Unless LXA is so different than any other GLOs, you still have to send Dues to IHQ for every member listed.

So, where does the bottom line come down to?

The Chapter who will be hurt or the member who is not paying?
