Ways to take attendance at chapter?

What if each sister had a card with their name on it and someone collected it at the door as each sister
entered? Then you could later match this against the roster. Of course, the person collecting the cards would need to make sure each sister only turned in one card. Or could you have a seating chart and visually match that at chapter to see what seats were empty and who was absent?

This is actually how my college panhellenic checked party attendance during formal recruitment--for each party, you had to give a card with your name on it into a basket at the door, and that was how they ensured you attended all of your parties

This was something like what we did at Clemson-you got a bunch of pieces of paper, then wrote your name and recruitment number on them. I imagine it also helped the actives remember who they had talked to at the end of the night.

Chapter size 180. Arrange tables near room entrance & place poster board on the table. Color coordinated for each year in school. Draw a grid with each member's name on one block. When they enter the room they place their phone on their square. Easy & quick way to take attendance. It also eliminates the distraction from phones making the meetings quicker & more efficient!

This strikes me as completely genius and I wish I had done it during the last chapter visit I did.
