We consistently beat the all-male GPA at the University of Maine. We had the highest fraternity GPA in 1997-98 and the Most Improved Fraternity GPA in 1999-2000. In the Fall of 2002, we ranked number two in highest GPA out of all of the fraternities at University of Maine. We received above a 2.9 average! Although academics is still left to the individual student, we promote success within the house and push each other to excel. With a wide variety of majors, from Engineering to Journalism, help is not far within the house.
