Academics

Greek life at the U of A was founded on the principles of academic and social success. As members of the Greek community, the first priority as a U of A student is their academic achievements. We take great pride in our members’ scholarship efforts. Each individual chapter sets their own standard and holds their members accountable through the installation of programs that include study hours, incentives for outstanding academic achievement, and rewards through various scholarships.
