Suggestions for Raising NPHC GPAs???

[PhDiva]

Sorors and Friends,

I was asked as a faculty member to sit on a panel for our campus' NPHC retreat to give members tips and suggestions on how to balance their studies with their org. commitment. Fact of the matter is that oftentimes, after new undergraduate members are initiated, their grades plummet and their chapter participation follows suit. I pledged Grad so my perspective is different from my target audience.

I wanted to get some perspective from those of you who have graduated or are currently enrolled and maintained/ing high GPAs while taking care of organizational duties as to what strategies current undergrad NPHC members can use to meet our collective goal of "high scholastic achievement".

Thanks
