Academic achievement is a significant component of your future success. One primary purpose of the Greek community is to encourage and develop high scholastic performance among its members. To participate in recruitment, entering freshmen must have a 2.25 GPA, or an 78 on a 100 point scale from high school. Upperclassmen and students with college credit must have a 2.25 cumulative college GPA. Greek-letter organizations were founded on principles of successful scholarship. With academics as a priority, the Greek community recognizes the importance of directing students into special scholarship programs. Sororities offer many resources and educational opportunities to facilitate high-quality learning for their members. Greek life helps you meet the challenge of balancing academics, while gaining the most from your collegiate experience. Additionally, each of the chapters on campus facilitates a scholarship program to assist both new and active members in achieving academic excellence. Numerous Greeks appear on the Dean’s and President’s Lists and belong to honor societies including Order of Omega, the national Greek honor society. Many sororities offer scholarships to members in attempts to encourage continued academic success. Because academics are so heavily stressed within Panhellenic, most sororities on campus maintain grade requirements for selecting new members. Grade requirements are also used to maintain academic success among its members by requiring each member to maintain a certain grade point average throughout her academic career.
