Chapters actively encourage and expect members to be involved.
However, chapters frequently have difficulties dealing with the fact that members have these other time commitments which sometimes prevent them from taking part in every single chapter activity. Chapters need to make every effort possible to accommodate the other activities which the chapter itself encourages and expects. Fines and penalties contradict the expectations the chapter has set. It's hard to do as you need members to carry out the activities of the chapter, but it is a balance which must achieved. The simplest answer is good time management.
