You actually e-mail professors for people's grades?! I can't believe you get them- we had a brother in the hospital and the school wouldn't even give me a copy of his schedule, and I had a signed note and everything. I can't imagine getting grades. That's a little disturbing for privacy concerns, actually.
Unfortunately, right as you are docetboy, it wouldn't work here. Mandatory study time is actually forbidden by the school- it's considered hazing. And if we fine someone, and they don't pay, what do we do? Toss them? Lose one or two members and we don't have a chapter anymore. Our pledge class was only three guys- and I count us lucky to have gotten that many.
But when only 100 freshmen out of 3500 rush 12 chapters, you gotta take what you can get. Recruitment is everything- if there are more guys rushing than can get in, the guys on the inside are more inclined to work hard. In our case, there are many fewer guys on the inside than the out- they feel like the fraternity should be doing something to keep them, not the other way around. And that's how you get situations like this- three straight semesters of taking what we could get has left us with a bunch of screw-ups, and a few guys who remember how things should be done.
I just got news that because of our grades, all our underclassmen are being moved back to the dorms, and we're losing our house. I think the first motion I'll make at our opening meeting will be to disolve the chapter- better to go with some kind of dignity.
