Not until she makes the grades to get off academic probation is she allowed to get her stuff back and wear her letters again. Semesters are six months-that's a looong time! Plus, she is not required to pay fees, either locally or to national. Does this make sense to any of you? If all of this is true, it obviously hurts both the girl and the chapter. Especially if there are several girls that don't make their grades.
I am aware of girls on academic probation not being able to take part in certain social events, but have never heard of all the rest of it. Then again, it's been a long time since I was in school. So, my question is obviously, is this status quo these days?

Wow that seems harsh, especially after only 1 semester of not making grades. IMHO the focus needs to encouragement, not shunning which pretty much is what this sounds like to me. We don't want members falling off the face of the earth never to be heard from again. I imagine that if you ban them from chapter meetings, philanthropy events, sisterhood activities, etc. then you'd have a tough time getting them involved again (hopefully) once they did make grades. As for the dues, I would think you'd have to pay them at least to Inat'l to maintain your membership.
