Who calculates all chapter GPA?
 

Hey after seeing DeltAlum I was interested in this.

Which sororities and fraternities calculate all chapter GPA?

I didn't know any did. In fact most single chapter GPAs are difficult to verify the numbers from even.

I think it's great though if it's possible.

For us the Office of Greek Affairs does it for all the chapters.

Not sure how it is done, but it's done every semester, and then all the chapters get a print out of what everyone got for that semester.

No I've seen something like that done too. Unless the administration does it, it's not reliable numbers. On my campus, for example, the sororities were able to do it through the administration. The fraternities were not because they refused to list their membership for risk management issues.

I was wondering more about a single fraternity and all its chapters. Does Beta get GPAs from all the chapters?

Our Vice President does it, as she is in charge of reporting it to National.
She asks each member to submit grades each quarter. I suppose someone could lie and change their grades, but since no one but the Vice President knows, the girls are honest.

That's interesting. Did the school not require a roster of members? Most schools around here require a roster from ALL registered organizations, not just greeks.

It kinda makes the fraternitites sound suspicious. What were they doing that worried them so much about risk management and listing individual members?

You're right a bit. My campus is interesting. It carries several older fraternities with fewer chapters - and these are the ones with the houses. The story is that there was a school with the same name as ours that was burnt in the great chicago fire, the fraternities existed from that school and owned property from then and when a new school (no ties to the old one) was put up, the fraternities became chapters there. So the school has a lot of difficulty even coming near them as orgs.

On top of that there have been incidents in the past where members of certain houses might harass other people. They also throw parties in the beginning of the year when the administration wants to prevent it, etc.

Anyway, the fraternities use this as a way to keep the administration at bay. Officials can't say anything to the chapter or individuals and if it even comes close, there are lawyers everywhere. The best was when they called members from each house in because someone got called a "bull dyke". I've never in my life seen a lawyer chew someone up.
