Do you HAVE to meet on campus? Is there a way that some of you all can get together at someone's apartment/house/local coffee shop/bookstore and study together? Personally I am not all for mandatory study hours because in our house, it turned into social hours and I was out 2 hours to actually study.
I was academic chair for a semester and came up with some ideas. However our chapter just had a very unacademic semester when i was chair so grades weren't as high. Things I tried were giving an award to the sister that had the highest GPA last semester and then give lil "smartie" awards thruout the semester for girls who studied a lot that week or didn't cut classes. I had everyone maintain a goal for the house. GIrls under a 2.0 had to get above a 2.0 next term; 2.0-2.5 had to raise the GPA .3; 2.5-3.0: .2; 3.0 and up .1. Those who met the goal at the end of the semester got rewarded.
But I will tell you some great advice I think someone already mentioned above: We are all here for the same reason, or at least we should be: to learn, and someday graduate. If those aren't the goals of the house, then something needs to be reevaluated to an extreme, and i think your academic chair is on the right track.
