NPHC grade requirements?

And that might suggest that what might be true about k-12 schooling generally doesn't play out for the people who join NPHCs. Or if what the OP observes is true on other campuses, it might be further evidence of the issues that exist k-12 even with the most motivated members of NPHCs. Who knows?

But it is interesting, I think.

The girl and guy difference is true for non-greeks and even in high school so the possible explanations you've raised may not fully explain it, but it's interesting to me to think about.

Que?

Oh, and that's "Que" as in the Spanish word translating to "what" and not the suggestion that members of Omega Psi Phi, or "Ques", is the embodiment of what you suggest. (I went to a good high school )

I'm all about continuing to talk about this but what "what" should I try to explain?

ETA: looking back, I think you may mean the guy and girl differences. At the high school level generally, and at the college level where I've see statistics reported, girls and women have higher average GPAs than boys and men do.
(I have no idea what this means for the transgendered.) There's getting to be a little push-back to schools being worried about gender equity for females by people who trot out these stats and suggest that maybe our current education methods are bad for boys. In my experience, girls are more interested in pleasing other people (probably because they are socially conditioned to), and I think grade differences are a reflection of this effort to please the teacher and their parents, and boys are probably learning about the same amount of stuff but don't care that much about the details that would lead to higher grades.
