End of the Semester: Grades

The end of a semester is a mixed time. It's great because it's the start of a break, giving time to rest and unwind from a long semester of work. The bad thing is that grades come out. An with 20 men, you are bound to have bad grades in the mix. Dealing with those is no fun, especially if the person is an active. Pledges just have to repledge, provided they weren't too far off. Actives have to be punished, but you can only do so much. After all, they're not kids anymore. You can't hold their hand and force them to work. So all you can really do is take away their party privileges and give them study hours. The sad thing is that even this might not help. It's all up to the person you are punishing to decide to work. It's a pain, but must be dealt with as a president. Good luck.
