Academics

The academic portion of your university career is one significant determinant in your future success. A primary purpose of the sorority community is to encourage and develop high scholastic achievement among its members. Several factors contribute to this academic atmosphere, including peer tutoring, upperclassman counseling, leadership training, chapter study hours, and many more. These all will help new students become more familiar to the longer and more intense studying that college requires over time.
