"I need to study" is not an excused absence at my chapter, and I recommend that it not be for any chapter. We were eventually given one "study pass" a semester, which could be used only for chapter, and couldn't be carried over until the next semester. I found that reasonable, but except for extenuating circumstances (like the rescheduled midterm example) IMO studying shouldn't be an excuse to miss something that has been planned weeks or months in advance. It is important to learn how to manage time correctly, and this is one way to learn it. Especially since chapter meetings don't generally last for more than an hour.
