Our chapter had required study hours for the new members AND for low-GPA initiated members. We kept a 'log book' at the library and usually asked one sister to be available at the library in the evenings. This usually was not difficult, as this was a commuter campus and there wasn't anyplace else to study. Also, it sets up good study habits for freshmen.
Don't forget to make up study books for each new member - fill them with study tips, websites that help with basic classes, phone numbers for the campus tutoring service, etc. Reward one member each week for a top grade or for raising their GPA or whatever. At the end of the year, offer a scholarship trophy or prize - one for new members and one for upperclassmen.
