I was a commuter in college, and I was a junior when I pledged. I already had a very good GPA (graduated magna cum laude), so when I was a pledge, I spoke to our vice president of mental advancement, who was in charge of study hours. I explained to her that if I had to drive to campus for a study session, I'd be losing a total of an hour of study time just driving. If you have already demonstrated that you have good grades, maybe you can use this argument, too. But if you're on academic probation, you might benefit from having structured study time. Maybe you can have a speaker in to give a presentation on how to study effectively. After you've proven you know how to study and have the grades to back it up, I'd push for an honor system, too.
