Academic Support: Students who are interested in joining a fraternity or sorority must meet the academic eligibility requirements outlined on our website.  Many Greek organizations at Rutgers require a minimum GPA higher than that required by the university to be considered for membership. Chapters provide academic resources and support systems like study groups, incentives and rewards, study sessions or mentoring programs. The All Panhellenic GPA continues to be above the All Women’s GPA.  Visit the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Affairs website to find the latest information about our organizations’ academic performance.
