I went to a party school, known for International Business majors and took Political Science. If I had taken an easier major like HR or Geography, I probably would have my pick of grad schools and would have avoided a lot of fraternity mandated study hours.
What we do in my chapter is that if you do not meet a 3.0, you have to spend so many study hours in the library doing supervised study work. There are computers, quiet alcoves so it's very efficient, but it made the difference for me from a 1.5 to a 2.35. Yes, that's nothing to brag about, but I had a semester in my sophomore year where I spent more time in the student pub than class, and frequently combined the after effects of the pub with class.
But yes, grandfathering is the way to go if you must really raise the GPA.
