Academic success . . . whatever that means.
Would you believe me if I told that your grades are just a product of a series of small habits?
Thats all they are, nothing mystical about it.
People that go to all their classes tend to get better grades. People that tend to study regularly (predictably) get better grades. And people with access to easy help get better grades.
Most people that get poor grades skip classes, study once ina while or only cram before tests, and tend not to get help when they need it.
So if you want to improve an individuals grades, you need to get them to classes, teach them better study skills such as studying regularly, and get them easy access to help.
The best place to start is your pledge classes. Even if you abandon your older brothers as lost causes, if you focus on the new member classes within 4 semesters most of your chapter will have better study skills.
So you need to weave grades into your pledge program. And thats not just emphasizing grades or mandatory study hours but rather teaching superior skills, shaping their behavior over the whole semester and then following up.
