One of our chapters submitted an idea that I think is great. They have a point system for all members under 3.0... it includes points for study hours ( proctored, unproctored), going to study groups, meeting with TA/ professors, tutoring sessions, getting As/ Bs on test/ papers/quizzes. Members must earn a certain number of points to go to formals, etc. but there are plenty of opportunities along the way. This chapter also has regular recognitions at meetings for academic success.
If your chapter is full of procrastinators then they need to be rewarded for steps taken along the way. I'm a procrastinator myself and have to set 'mini-deadlines' or I'll wait until the absolute last minute.
If structure is what they need, you may have to help them develop it. In other words, the scholarship chair may need to meet individually with those ladies and go through syllabi with them. Call it spoon feeding if you want, but it helped me to have a sister structure my studying for me (raised my GPA from 2.3 soph year to 3.3 jr year)
You might want to contact your International Scholarship Chairman... that's what she's there for!
