I've heard of many situations where fraternities and sororities have instilled that policy. I don't believe it's right that you get fined if you have other conflicting schedules. What does that say about the organization...that the fraternity should trump all. No organization is of such. But, if you GPA is up there as well, obviously you're doing something good.

Do fraternities typically do this? And do you think that this is a good idea?

The problem that I have with it is that my GPA is above a 3.0 and is among the higher GPAs in the chapter. I often have conflicts with study hall (other activity events and meetings), so I have to skip it and I get fined.

Is this right? What should I do?
