How will my grades be impacted by fraternity / sorority membership?
• Academic success is a key component to fraternity and sorority life. All fraternities and sororities at MU place a value on the academic success of their members. A few of the ways that Greek organizations support the academics of their members is through minimum grade requirements for holding an office and being initiated into the chapter, study halls, and workshops on study skills, test taking and time management. In support of these academic efforts, the Greek Life Office compiles academic information for organizations each semester if the proper materials have been submitted. Chapters use academic information to assist students and to set minimum qualifications for initiation, room assignments and/or eligibility for officer elections. It is important to note that the average GPA collectively for fraternity / sorority members traditionally exceeds 3.0, so students are encouraged to achieve the highest GPA possible for the best opportunity of membership.
