Academics can and should be emphasized during rush, as well as during and after pledging. Brothers shall serve as peer tutors. The chapter's Director of Academic Affairs shall coordinate this effort by maintaining a copy of each Delts' course schedule. Brothers who have previously taken a course will offer guidance and tips to those currently enrolled. All brothers are encouraged to utilize the free services provided by the University Tutorial Program.
Academic success is recognized.
Good grades on tests, selection for Kershner Scholar Awards, and receipt of other academic achievement awards are announced and lauded in chapter meetings. Although the Chapter is encouraged to schedule social events only on non-school nights, that is not always possible. Brothers are excused from fraternity obligations for academic reasons and should never miss an academic session for fraternity reasons. Academic seminars are offered to the membership. An example of the last is that an English major may not be best served by registering for a required advanced algebra course and chemistry course in the same academic term.
