ULM’s Office of Greek Life recently released the fall 2011 grade point average results for ULM’s Greek organizations.
The combined Greek GPA for the semester was 3.044. The all-sorority average was 3.163, while the all-fraternity average was 2.909.
“Earning the best grades possible has become a real point of pride for many of the Greek organizations here,” said Keith Hembree, coordinator of Greek Life at ULM.
Kappa Delta Sorority holds the top Greek GPA with a 3.219 overall average. “Good grades are one of our highest priorities as Kappa Deltas,” said Brooke Mohon, a Kappa Delta member.
“I am very happy to know that all of our hard work is paying off. I couldn’t be more proud of my sisters.”
Kappa Sigma had an overall average of 2.828 which fell lower than most of the other fraternities and sororities.
“Our overall GPA is probably lower than others because, as a whole, we put more of our efforts into philanthropy events, social events, fundraisers and recruiting,” said Derek Jones, a Kappa Sigma member.
Each organization does have minimum GPA requirements they are expected to meet, and they stress the importance of maing academics a priority every semester.
