s li. l 51 I -R Greek Community Stresses Success ln addition to social interactions and philanthropic events, academics was a large aspect ofgreek life at the University of Kansas. t'Making the grade became a semi-competition between 1 chapters at the University and enabled the organizations to 1 'Z gage how they were measuring up in comparison to their peers. I E Following the Fall 1996 semester, Beta Theta Pi and Alpha Delta Pi took home the honor ofthe top GPA with a 3 .340 and 3.240 respectively. Beta Theta Pi out studied 23 other fraternities and topped the number two fraternity, Triangle by almost .3 points. Sorority rankings fell a little closer, with two sororities tied .for second place at 3.1 15. Maintaining a strong legacy, Beta Theta Pi had been ranked at the top of the GPA rankings in all but four semesters since 1936. Matt Krische, Topeka senior and Beta Theta Pi presi- dent, said that the house members understood their tradition of gikeeping a high GPA. 'iThere is the atmosphere that makes people motivated, K llirische said. To lose the title is almost a catastrophe. i was below 2.25 to attend mandatory two-hour study sessions three times a week. Fiebach said the house's scholarship chair took the members to the library at Murphy Hall and supervised their studies. Matt Hamill, lnterfratemity Council vice president for pub- lic relations, said that greek chapters put stress on academic success by reminding members why they were at the Univer- sity. The true reason you are here is to receive an educationfi Hammill said. t'Sometimes you forget why you are here. They lgreek studentsl should make the most of their time at KU. Greek Grades Grade-point averages of University greek organizations and how they compare to all University students. GPAs are out of 4.0 points. Zeta Phi Beta, Alpha Phi Alpha, Omega Psi Phi, and Phi Beta Sigma did not submit averages to the Organization and Activities Center. 1 1 Keeping their high GPA, Krische said, was emphasized during rush, the process of recruiting new members. The i chapter chose the new members very carefully so that the chapter could maintain a high GPA. 1 Joining their male counterpart, Alpha Delta Pi used chapter intervention to promote success. 1 think we have a strong study program, and the girls are pretty individually motivatedf, said Becky Nicholas, Johnson g iunior, and president of Alpha Delta Pi. 5 p Nicholas said that because her chapter set a high GPA as a igoal, members became more responsible about their grades. 1 In her chapter, six study hours were required for all mem- Lners. Those who achieve GPAs higher than the house's fall iverage did not have to attend study hours in the spring semester. be Theta Chi, which earned a 2.25 GPA, the lowest of all University fraternities, also started a new study program to improve members, averages. .
