Depends on the campus, but what you mention is often true; for instance, see the latest figures from the U. of Delaware at

A quote or two from the U. of Delaware story:
Sorority sisters' GPAs averaged 3.31 for the fall semester while their nonsorority counterparts earned an average of 3.10. Fraternity brothers earned an average 3.04 GPA for the fall semester compared to the nonfraternity male average of 2.86. The all-Greek GPA rose to an all-time high of 3.2.
The Greeks saw a 92 percent New Member Retention rate, showing that more people are completing the new member programming. . . .
CAP is an evaluation system created by the Interfraternity Council and the Panhellenic Council, in coordination with the Student Centers and the Faculty Senate, to improve the management and the quality of sorority and fraternity chapters.
Scores are based on four standards--academics, chapter management, membership development and community involvement. This year's scores are on the CAP Web site at [http://www.udel.edu/student-centers/...fall2007.html]. . . .
