Our study hours are run by Order of Omega and are open to all fraternities and sororities in a few classrooms on campus. They're meant to be a silent study place if anyone needs to come in and study or do homework, and I think that they work. We have a Google Doc on a computer in the front of the classroom that you fill out with your name, time you arrived, GLO, and time that you left. They're not mandatory, at least for my chapter, but you can get points for them. In my opinion this setup is successful because there's no noisy distractions and they're voluntary.
