College administrations, recognizing the values of fraternities, continue to welcome them on their campuses and to invite them to establish new chapters.
Scholastic achievement is also central to the mission of most fraternities and sororities.
Each fraternity or sorority places strong emphasis on creating an atmosphere conducive to high academic performance, as well as challenging each individual to live up to his highest academic potential. Each fraternity generally implements various programs designed to assist members in their academic pursuits. Programs range from tutoring, help with scheduling, quiet study areas in the house, study tables for new members, incentives and awards for good grades. Additionally, most organizations provide some financial scholarships supported by their national organizations and local alumni groups. These efforts reinforce the belief that academic achievement is an integral part of the fraternity and sorority experience.
