This was pretty much how my chapter did it as well. It seemed to work pretty well - especially the mandatory study hours and lack of social priviledges. In addition to the study hours, a lot of the sisters would tutor (outside of study hours) those who hadn't made grades as an extra assurance that they wouldn't do it again, plus it made studying more fun for them, and we definitely rewarded those who got above the required GPA again.
I definitely think the original scenario is a bit extreme - that's only what we did to those who were dissafiliated or who were kicked out/left due to prolonged academic problems. A poor performing sister is still a sister and she really needs to compassion and support of her sisters to pull through and do well again - shunning her would only make the situation worse, in my opinion.
