Like I said before, it was a great improvement from even our fall semeter grades. We have a new VPS and she has obviously done wonders. She has a new program with study cards based on the previous semester GPA, weekly study and quiet hours and weekly meetings with deficient members. We have little incentives like the Skippy Jar. If you go to all your classes you get to put your name in the jar and it gets drawn every week at Chapter for a prize. We also have a good work award jar. This is used to nominate a sister when you see her doing great academically, like getting an A on an exam she studied hard for, or helping another sister in a difficult class. This is also drawn for a weekly prize. If you have any more questions about our program, I can help you get in touch with our VPS and mabe she can give you some pointers.
I think that most of all, we really wanted this. Our House has grown by leaps and bounds in the past couple of years and this is just one more thing that we were focusing on. Now in addition to our growing membership, we have outstanding grades as well.
I also wanted to say that I just found out that our grades were above the all Sorority average as well, which was 3.04. The all campus and all women's grades haven't come out yet, but I'm sure we will be above those too!
