Those that do not should consider setting up an electronic study hall. Most universities offer library services through a computer modem. Many universities have direct access to a computer modem that can access computer programs needed to fulfill homework assignments. A third strategy is to engage alumni to visit the Fraternity to discuss their careers and developments in their industry. Too often college students make no effort to get employment until their senior year.
Most students have no idea of what type of work they want to do.
By inviting alumni in to talk about their work, students begin to compare their personalities and interests with those in particular lines of work. Do not limit the guests to highly successful alumni. An alumnus who is three years into his career can give recent and relevant insight into the workplace and the importance of having good grades. A fourth strategy is to conduct grade checks on ALL fraternity members at mid-semester and require consultation with the faculty advisor. Fraternity members having difficulty in a course should see their professor.
