Scholarship

Scholarship remains an important part of life for all Michigan State University students especially for Greek organizations. Greek life was founded on the principles of academic and social success. The Greek community's goal is to make its members better students and better leaders. National Panhellenic Council (NPC) requires that each woman going through the recruitment process have at least a 2.5 cumulative grade point average. Each house has its one scholarship chairperson, who not only enforces individual house standards but also promotes academic success for each member. Last year alone NPC gave out $2.8 million in scholarships.

The Interfraternity Council, the student-led governing body that oversees the men’s fraternities at MSU, has a program entitled “Standards for Chapter Excellence.” This program was created with the simple intent to raise the bar academically for men. The Greek community prides itself on helping one another and holding one another to higher standards.
