| Please don't be to stressed about this.
My friend's son just finished his freshman year in engineering at Georgia Tech in engineering and his grades, let's just say they were not what they were in high school. Georgia Tech is a hard school. Engineering is a hard major and he has learned that he is not destined to be an engineering major.
I do think that frats too many hours away from studying. If you are obligated to do something at your frat on a certain evening, saying you "have a big test the next morning and you need to study" is not acceptable to your frat brothers. If he were my kid, I would tell him that I would rather he keep his distance from the frat until he has had a successful term (passed all classes with a C or better). They are his friends, so you probably wouldn't really keep him "away" form them, but I certainly wouldn't pay any fraternity fees. |
