Scholarship Ideas??

[ThetaPrincess24]

As former Scholarship Chair in my chapter here are a few things that were done to bring us up from 7th out of 8 to 2nd in grades in one year's time.......


For those on probation:
Loss of extra activities: not allowed to play intramurals, not allowed to attend social functions (Theta and Fraternity sponsored), inability to participate in events that take a lot of practices/time such as Greek Sing, AOPi LIp Sync, etc., loss of offices, etc. Repeat offenders had harsher penalities and ran the risk of termination of membership.

For the chapter as a whole:
Weekly awards were given to those who made A's and B's on their assignments/exams and were recognized for doing so.
Proctored mandatory study hours based on GPA (semesterly not overall averages).
Scholarship Workshop (a few hours one weekend with our Scholarship Advisor--topics included goals, conflict with teachers, study tips, etc.)
Nicer awards are also given by our member development committee each year.
We also had Best big sis/lil sis gpa, Best freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior gpa (done semesterly), and most improved.

Also, the probationary terms were strictly enforced as well, so people who were not on probation knew consequences of being on probation and that it was not a joke. Enforcement is key.
