Required Study Hours?
Ok, i put the angry face because I'm a little irked on this subject....Is anyone involved with an organization that forces you to study as a group so many hours per week? Our new scholarship director is trying to fix it so that we have to study so many hours a week on campus or we are fined. I am in a chapter at a commuter campus, and some of my sisters live up to 2 hours away. I myself am 30 minutes away. We don't have an official house because we don't have dorms and for us to come to campus from great distances to study when we can study at home is insane. You can't talk with her because in her mind (her 3.8 gpa-mind) she believes that everyone should want to study all the time and that people that are on, or facing, academic probation should really want to study with the group. Besides the factor i mentioned already, there are a couple more main points.
1) People on academic probation can't vote, have lil sis's, or take part in some social events.
2)people on probation, have to go before our honor board and basically get lectured, 3 semesters on probation and your membership is up for review
3)Some people have to work to support themselves and with meetings, classes, and other already required events, adding at least (she's talking at least) 2 hours of required study time will take just that much more food off their table and gas out of their cars.
4)The people that are on probation are the people as described in #3, so it's kind of a situation where go to work to make money to pay your fines for missing your study time.
Has anyone had to deal with this before? Have you worked a way to make it happen? Any ideas? This has got me so steamed up that I actually was late to my first geology class of the semester because i was arguing...no, no, "discussing" this with her.
Thanks for your help!
