What about guys who would be helped by joining a fraternity. Given that many fraternity chapters require study hours for their pledges, wouldn't it be adventageous for these individuals to pledge? There are a lot of other academic advantages that the academic liabilities can garner by being a part of a chapter.
At UIFI they told us that when a person joins a chapter with a GPA above the all-male (or respective all-female for sororities) campus gpa, they're grades are likely to be improved. The opposite is true if they join a chapter with a GPA below the averages for their gender, and they're grades are likely to fall.
