I need ideas to get chapter GPA up, any help welcome!

[sherrybaby]

my chapter went from being in last place for GPA to tied for third-highest in a very short time - a year and a half or two years, i think. we do the following:
-mandatory weekly study hours based on GPA...i forget how the actual break-down is, but it's something like, students with a 3.5-4.0 don't have any, 3.0-3.4 have one, 2.5-2.9 have two, 2.0-2.4 have three, and below 2.0 have four. new members have 4. if you don't make your study hours, you get put on social probation and can't participate in anything until you make them up.
-smart cookies - every week at chapter, if you got an A on something, you put your name and what you got the A on on the smart cookie list, which is read during chapter, and you get a cookie that our director of scholarship brings
-the skippy jar - this also goes around at chapter. girls who did not skip any classes that week can put their name in, and two names are drawn for little prizes each week

i think these are national theta things, but members with a 4.0 for a semester get a pearl that attaches to their pins, and members with a 3.5 or above get a certificate. i know i wanted a pearl so bad and worked extra hard for it this semester

I don't know how this would apply for a national chapter, but for my local, our alumni sponsored a "Scholarship Fund". Basically, if a girl made above a 3.5, she got a discount on her dues. That discount was then covered from the alumni scholarship fund. And while our dues were only $45 a semester, that $10 discount on your dues was a welcome relief!

We consistently had the highest GPA on campus, which is saying a lot considering that we were also the smallest sorority, which meant that each sister's grades impacted the overall GPA a lot.

Those are optional for the chapter if the chapter decides to do it/budget for it.
