have you tried contacting other chapters in your fraternity for ideas?

Do you have an alumni advisor that is over your specific position? He may be a source of ideas.


Theta has both a chapter advisor and a district advisor that is over scholarship and they are excellent sources of information and ideas to build/improve a scholarship program.

As a former scholarship chair and scholarship advisor i can say this is one of the hardest positions you can have, but can also be one of the msot rewarding. Most people on probation are there not because they had family issues or one bad semester but simply because they dont like to study and thus dont make it a priority. You will often butt heads with those members. Probation terms need to be very clear to everyone and enforcement is key as an incentive to make people want to get off probation and stay off probation. However be careful not to be too rigid or you'll have everyone wanting to turn in their pins.

At the time i took scholarship chair my chapter was on scholastic probation. I worked closely with my scholarship advisor and district advisor and enforced existing rules with the help of my committee and the executive board. This propelled us in one semester to move from 7/8 to 2/8 overall and 1/8 with new members.

Good luck to you!
