Each fraternity or sorority usually mans several different teams in each sporting event. In each team category, chapters often compete for sports points. The points are totaled at the end of each year, and the chapter or individual team with highest point total is awarded some sort of trophy. Whatever sport it is, and whatever skill level you play at, you will always find an opportunity to play on a team in your school's Intramural Fraternity League. Academics Academic achievement is the first and foremost priority of all Iowa State University students.
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, test files, 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.
