Greek grades from fall 2004 show great improvement compared to fall 2003.
The fraternity and sorority averages for fall 2004 are both up when compared to the fall semester of 2003. The fraternities have the biggest achievement to boast about, as they raised their all-fraternity average by more than one-tenth of a point.
Both the fraternities and sororities have made improvements, but those organizations that were in the top last fall are still in the top this fall. Leading in the fraternities for fall 2004 is Alpha Gamma Rho with a 2.97, followed by Sigma Phi Epsilon with a 2.95 and Alpha Tau Omega with a 2.90.
Alpha Delta Pi leads the sororities once again with a 3.21 chapter GPA, followed by Chi Omega with a 3.19 and Alpha Omicron Pi with a 2.91.
Kappa Alpha Order, Phi Sigma Kappa and Sigma Alpha Epsilon all scored below the all-male average for the IFC fraternities. Kappa Alpha Psi, Phi Beta Sigma and Omega Psi Phi also scored below the all-male average and were at the bottom of the grade list among fraternities.
The director of Greek Life, Louis Ragsdale, says he is very proud of the accomplishments. “Grades are up for last semester. We’re looking forward to seeing good grades come out of the organizations for this spring as well.”
