We have a self-imposed requirement. For a brother to be initiated, we require him to get a GPA equal to or greater than all-men's average -- we're not a fraternity for average men, so our expectations are the highest on campus. Most other fraternities at Central Oklahoma only require members to get a 2.25.

If an initiated member has a low GPA, say sub-2.25, he won't play sports and will be on probation for a semester. He's also required to study 8 hours at the house or be subjected to some fairly stiff fines.

You'd think all that would hurt our numbers. Actaully, it couldn't further from the truth. Not only do we REALLY help some guys get through school, we also have the highest fraternity GPA on campus. This semester, we had the highest GPA in 3 years at UCO.
