Undergrad--3.6, Graduate--4.0
See what I can do when I don't have to take those silly required Accounting and Algebra classes?

These responses really make me happy, because there are so many negative stereotypes of Greeks.
As far as "good enough to graduate", I agree that it is a huge achievement. I don't know dropout rates for undergraduates, but college isn't easy, and committing yourself to yout GLO and other activities (as I saw that many Greeks were active in many activities and clubs at my schools), is no small task.
BTW, SigKapSweetie, did you end up going to medical school? If so, what was your specialty? I was a boring English & Journalism major, but I always loved biology and especially genetics.

This made me LOL so hard. What are you pursuing a grad degree in?

^ How do you get a GPA for your PhD? Must be a totally different system, as we either get it (with minor corrections or 3 month corrections from the viva) or don't.

Our GPAs are recorded on transcripts and reported to the department and graduate school. We can access our GPAs on line, too. It's only to ensure that no student is struggling to get the minimum 3.0 requirement to continue in the program. That's the ONLY reason your GPA for many PhD programs is remotely important. Almost no employer will EVER ask you what your GPA was for your PhD and people with an understanding of what graduate school is about (for their field) won't report it on their curriculum vitae/resume`.
GPAs in general don't matter unless you have to submit a transcript to a school, organization, or employer that cares about GPAs.

I graduated with a 2.8 as a chemistry undergrad (which was good enough to get me into a great grad school).
As a master's student I graduated with a 3.3 .

I'm currently at a comfortable 3.75, but I'm an English major. I will readily admit that it's not a difficult major at all. Good enough for me to get into a decent grad school and put me in the running for an assistantship.

Around 3.8 overall and 4.0 in my major. If I like something, I tend to be really good at it. Or maybe it's if I'm really good at something, I tend to like it. Something like that!
