is the ratio that bad at georgia tech

That report is pretty suspect: average Greek GPA 3.01, average non-Greek GPA 3.03, average of all students 2.98, how does that work out? So depending on how you look at it, Greeks averaged lower than non-Greeks or higher than the average undergraduate student. Semantics.

I agree, though, that it’s not worth arguing. The numbers are usually very close in both directions. But that disputes the argument that being Greek hurts your GPA.



Which is amazing, right, since the greeks do not initiate people with low GPAs…



Virtually all Greek organizations initiate during the same semester a person pledges, so the vast majority of pledges are full members before they see their first grade at Tech.

Edit: that sheet releases the GPA of fraternities with 1 member. How is that not a FERPA issue?
