Scholarship

developing the scholastic achievement of their members. One sign of this
commitment to academics is that the all-greek grade point average is consistently
higher than the all-University grade point average. To help their members
succeed academically, chapters have well established scholarship programs.
These programs include resources such as study hall sessions, time management
workshops, academics advisors, tutoring programs and more.

awards, and recognition banquets. There are also all Greek honor societies

recognize the achievements of Fraternity members.

leadership experience. Each chapter governs itself with its own elected
officers. Fraternities also encourage you to become involved in numerous
campus activities. Many Fraternities have larger memberships than the
majority of alternative student organizations. This enables you to learn
leadership skills by being involved in a large, multifaceted organization.
Today's employers and graduate schools seek the type of individual who
not only excelled in academics, but also became well-rounded through active
involvement on campus. The fraternity system offers you an excellent opportunity
to meet and exceed these standards set by employers and graduate schools.

in a fraternity contributes to this aspect. They combine the concept of
individualism within the framework of mutual cooperation. You will from
friendships unlike any you will experience in other campus organization.

of the Tech campus. This is what makes the fraternity experience so valuable.

backgrounds, you are better prepared to face challenges of life after
