Agree with all that has been said. If the poor grades weren't caused by something within the member's control, like partying too much, punishment of any kind is not the answer.
One thing you could suggest is reducing course load, changing majors, etc. Some people take on more academically than they can handle and need to understand that 12 hrs per semester with good grades beats 18 with bad ones. What passes for "advising" in most colleges these days isn't, and the chapter could fill that gap with some advice based on a deeper knowledge of the student's situation, aptitudes, etc.
