| The first and foremost priority of Daniel Webster
College is academic excellence, and helping members achieve this is a primary
objective of the Greek community. Accordingly, each fraternity/sorority
places strong emphasis on academic performance. Fraternity/sorority members
help their newest members develop study skills through study groups and
individual help. The incentives and support offered by the fraternity/sorority
help all members achieve and maintain high academic standards.
Within each fraternity/sorority there are members involved in a wide variety of colleges and departments. This is quite an advantage in two ways: first, you will be able to seek help from others who may be taking or have already taken the same classes; second, there will be upperclassmen who can advise you on which classes and instructors are the best within each field of study. Nationally speaking, just over 50% of students in colleges and universities go on to graduate. However, U.S. Department of Education data shows that members of fraternities and sororities graduate at a rate in excess of 70%! Fraternities help you meet the challenge of balancing academics while gaining the most from your collegiate experience. The combination of friendships and brotherhood/sisterhood, intermingling with solid goals of academic excellence help you to become a well-rounded, intelligent member of the university community, and of the work force after you graduate. |
