Academic excellence is an important part of Greek Life. Chapters not only have GPA requirements to join and stay active, they all strive to hold each other accountable. Many hold mandatory study hours and have academic chairs who create plans to keep members on track academically. Every semester Student Leadership Development compiles the grade report for each chapter and compares to the general undergraduate population. Due to FERPA laws single member chapters are not listed.
