Sorority chapters are larger in general than fraternity chapters. That would be why.

How does that make a difference?

If you only have 50 guys, it takes a lot fewer people to pull your overall GPA down than if you have 100 girls.

On my undergrad campus, the smaller chapters (fraternity and sorority) have the most variable GPAs because of this. They can swing from very low to very high between semesters. The chapters with 70-120 members were much more stable.

That said, the sorority that has had the highest GPA for years has been Delta Xi Phi, a non-Panhellenic multicultural sorority with 15-25 members. They have been anywhere from a 3.45 to a 3.70 most semesters.

...And the fraternity that usually has the highest GPA is AEPi, which is around 35 members and has gotten close to 3.70.

Overall, the sororities are generally higher than the fraternities, and the all-greek average is almost always higher than the all-undergrad average (which is usually between a 3.2 and a 3.3). I'm proud to say that in the last few years my chapter has had the highest Panhellenic GPA, topping out at 3.51 and finally surpassing Phi Mu, which was consistently the highest NPC for years. From what I can find, I don't think any NPC on my campus has ever gone over 3.51.

There was something here a few months back about the Shorter University Zetas having the highest GPA of all the Zeta chapters!
