You're right, getting the planner signed is unnecessary- you're not their mommy and it's not your job to babysit them. By the time you're in college, you should be self-motivated, and if members just don't care enough to make grades, then they don't deserve the privilege of sorority membership (or college, for that matter).

That said, it IS your job to give members who are struggling but are trying their hardest to do well. In meeting with those members, make sure they are aware of all of the academic help resources available to them through the school and the sorority- tutors, test banks, study hours, etc. If they choose not to take advantage of those resources, then there are bigger problems.

To encourage rather than force women to go to class, consider compiling a database of everyone's schedules. If a sister is having a hard time getting up for her 8am, maybe there is another sister living in the house who is also getting up then and they can get ready together and help get each other out of bed. It's even better if they are in the same class or have class in the same area of campus and can walk together. You feel way guiltier skipping if your sister is there waiting for you to go together.
