Academics

  •     

  • We have seen a vast improvement in our Greek students' commitment to academics over time. Many of our Greek organizations have enhanced their scholarship programs through the addition of accountability measures and an increase in chapter study hour sessions. Additionally, the new requirements on college grade point average for initiation have a demonstrative effect on overall performance. These efforts have produced an increase in our fraternity and sorority overall grades.

     

    Below is a snapshot of the Council Averages vs. the Gender Averages of USM.
