Scholarship

Along with philanthropy, scholarship always seems to be something on the top of our goals each year to improve on. After being VP of scholarship it is also something that I am particularly interested in. Overall I think Gamma Lambda does pretty well in the scholarship area. We regularly use our incentive programs such as a pledge class A's of the week race, scholarship sister of the month, and a team game that groups sisters with similar majors and earns points by completing different academic events. We also hold a very organized scholarship banquet each semester complete with prizes and certificates for all sisters. I think our most significant downfall though is trying to construct a scholarship improvement plan for those sisters who have not met the minimum GPA to be in good standing. Each semester the scholarship improvement plan is tweaked to try to be more beneficial for those using it but in the past semesters it seems the number of members using a plan is right around the same number each semester. This past semester there was a chapter on our campus who did not have a single member below their minimum GPA to be in good standing, I think that is an awesome goal to strive for. Any ideas on other incentive programs or ways to help out members struggling with grades?
