We are leaders in a wide variety of majors and campus activities. We are part of an international fraternity with over 200 chapters and 200,000 members. We were founded as the first fraternity at UMBC to welcome members of any race or religion. From the outset, we were committed to mutual respect, as well as common ideals. Men don't come to this fraternity to learn blind obedience.
Academic success is our top priority.
Many members' grades improved, after they joined, because brothers cared about their success and gave them added incentives and support. Consistently, our grades have been well above both the All Men's and All Fraternities' averages, and 1st or 2nd among fraternities. We offer positive incentives, teach practical skills like time management, have an Academic Advisor on the faculty, have alumni mentors, and offer informal tutoring and counseling. Every member must, at the very least, achieve a 2.25 GPA, both in the last semester and cumulatively, to be involved. At UMBC, we are known as gentlemen, leaders, and good students who like to help others.
