Greek GPAs fall just short of College average
Greeks are smart, too! Who knew?
When asked whether he was surprised by the virtual equivalency in GPA between Greek students and the entire undergraduate population, Dean of Residential Life Martin Redman said "absolutely not."The Good Guys did Pretty well, too...
"Dartmouth students are talented, whether they choose to join the Greek system or not," Redman said. "I wouldn't be surprised if the Greeks were the ones with a slight edge in the recent past."
The highest fraternity average was that of Sigma Phi Epsilon, at 3.43. The only other fraternity to rank among the top 10 CFS averages was Sigma Alpha Epsilon, with a 3.39 GPA. Neither fraternity sported members with GPAs below a 2.0.
Sig Ep President Morgan Brown cited weekly study sessions and an in-house tutoring list as important factors for the fraternity's academic success.
"Our scholarship chair, Sean Anthony '06, led a stronger than usual effort last term to encourage our brothers to focus on academics in several ways," Morgan said.
Way to go, guys.
