wow! good for you for taking the initiative to motivate your pledge class to improve your chapter.
we have a chapter on my campus who faces many of the same problems. i have strongly admired their determination in turning their chapter around. one good pledge class (especially such a large one) can really help.
it's important for you to feel like you have say in what goes on in your chapter. just because you are fairly new does not mean you can't step up immediately and take a leadership role. all of the things you say that are not really happening in your chapter (like study hours and such) you should really point this out and give suggestions to your exec, and convince them that you're ready to help.
when elections come around, if they have not already passed, run for office and encourage your pledge class to do the same.
if your school does fall recruitment, try to snap a few spring girls to get to cap. if you can. girls in your pledge class should hunt down quality girls who you know will stick out pledge period.
try to make positive light of this, and think about how much you can change your chapter to the potential it could be at.
hope this helps and good luck. you'll find lots of good resources on GC, I have.
