We have a mandatory philanthropy every month which everyone is well aware of. However, we voted on working with this agency (Adoption RI) and then asked people to sign up to work the events that they could attend. The five girls signed up and then backed out (one sent me a text message 30 minutes before she was supposed to be there). The event was only to take place from 4 until 7 and as far as I know there were no other events except for them leaving for Montreal this morning (4 of the 5). This is our first semester on campus so we have not yet had formals or mixers so unfortunately those ideas won't work.
We are having an officer meeting on Wed to discuss this, because it is not the first time it has happened. So, we will see what we can come up with!
Thanks to everyone who has replied!

If all that's taken into account, I think that things like taking away privileges like attending formal or mixers work better than fines. The girls who can afford to pay them will just do it and not care, and the girls who can't afford to pay them - well, you can't get blood from a turnip.
