No. No no no no no. You do NOT punish members for poor GPAs. You HELP your members. What's the incentive to improve scholarship when you've taken all the membership positives away? Having a little, for example, can help the big; they can study together. I've seen that work well.
Instead, you structure an academic plan for the member that rewards improvements with privileges/participation in events/recognition etc. You have the member write her own "terms" or "plan". She knows what she needs to do to improve. Some members need to study in groups, others do best solo in a quiet location away from distractions.
Many members need support (e.g. tutoring, test taking strategies, etc) that can be offered through various campus centers. I don't know where you are so I can't be specific. And for the ones who are just not serious about improving, I'm sure you know what needs to be done.
