Engineering majors are some of the most time consuming degrees, because rather than memorizing info you are solving problems. At universities that do not inflate grades, the average eng major GPA can be less than 3.0.
My chapter did not have study hours. Some of the things that did help sisters get their grades up:
study buddies - sisters in same major or class studying together each day
sister tutors - a sister who did well in a subject tutoring a sister who is having trouble in the subject
passive/academic status - a sister is only required to attend certain events for a semester so she can concentrate on grades

Our chapter has consistetly had the worst gpa of all 9 chapters on campus for 5 quarters running, so we are really trying to make a push to raise our gpa. The new policies that I am trying to present is this:
2.8-2.99 girls have 3 study hours per week
2.5-2.79 girls have 6 hours
2.49 or below girls have 8 hours, have to check in after midterms, and have to work with the academic chair.
we currently have no required study hours. Any thoughts or advice?
