My pledge class from formal is an excellent group as well, but we're actually the ones with the "problem girls." We have a couple girls that just do "undesirable" things, and I feel actually a little sad to have to associate with them. They're great girls, I just think they don't exactly have their heads on correctly.. at least not for college I guess.

About the GPA thing... I KNOW that's a huge problem! But honestly, there's nothing more I can think of we can do to help them, except maybe take their tests and study for them! Which, uh, yeah right.. I have a 3.6, and as a chapter we are on academic probation! So you can understand that it infuriates me because I'm doing my best. We do "grade checking" (there's a real name, I can't think of it) and based on our GPA, we have to do in-house study hours - up to 5 a week! - and we can get on probation as well. We really are doing a lot to try to get it up, and I really don't know what else to do.. suggestions?? You've all been really helpful.. I love this site..

You could up the study hours and have strict monitoring. When I was a collegiate we had up to 10 study hours per week, and social probation if your GPA was under a certain amount (I believe 2.5). I know I had a gpa of 3.25 and still had 2 mandatory study hours.

Good luck to your chapter.
