I, personally, do terribly in group study sessions, and my grades would certainly have suffered.
Just wondering...

We just required study hours of incoming members with no credits or those whose GPA fell below the min. required by our chapter. Members were welcome to study wherever and however they wanted to so long as they turned in their paperwork showing the times and dates where they studied. I think it's a good idea to offer optional study buddies so members in the same majors and classes can rely on one another as a resource, but Greek study groups shouldn't be mandatory. Clearly not everyone studies in the same way and you should do what you need to do in order to do your best in the classroom. A good GLO reviews its bylaws on an annual basis and puts them toward a vote. This is a good time to recommend fair amendments and that sounds like a very good one if a GLO requires group study (not sure how they could require Greek Study Groups seeing as members come from all different majors!).
