A study tips and tricks class for new members helps every student who wants to learn how to manage a workload. Undergraduate study skills (including the tendency to procrastinate) and average course grade do not vary that much across majors. The average collegiate (across institutions and majors) is a B-/C student--with exceptionally high and exceptionally low averages in between. So, chapters incorporate study programs that will help new members across majors and across learning capacities. It is up to the students themselves to pick up the slack from there.
BTW, the difference between the majors depends on the institution, the courses, and the professors. The majors that require more work and time aren't always the majors that people assume they are.
