(I'm not saying that any majors are easier or harder than others, just saying that from my experience physics majors tend to have lower GPAs than comm majors.) If your chapter GPA is something that worries you, think about what you can do to change that. Can you tutor girls in anything? Get together study groups? Rather than just being mad about it and dropping, try and change it.

Cosign. My chapter was ranked quite low in GPA last year and it wasn't because we didn't value academics.
I'll also cosign on the fact that it took me a while to get to know girls in my pledge class and become close friends with them. It's hard.
There was also a girl in one of the recent classes who always talked about getting drunk, partying, and going out, so much so that it was brought up to me as a complaint (when I was President). Her grades were exceedingly high and there were no facebook pictures of her drinking, so she hadn't violated the RMP. Still, I was curious so I texted her that Friday night to see what she was doing. She was in her dorm, studying.
She had been so concerned with appearing "cool" she constantly talked about partying, drinking, boys, and everything else so people would like her.
You may find this to be the case in your class!
