Academics

Joining a sorority in college is a life-changing experience, but garnering an education is the top priority for Kappa. This is why each chapter is expected to maintain academic standards equal to or higher than their university’s or college’s all-sorority GPA. Additionally, each chapter establishes a GPA requirement for active members. 

If a Kappa struggles academically, we help her through it. The Academic Excellence Team meets with her to craft an improvement plan using study tactics and time management. We want each sister to leave college with what they came for: a degree.

Our Vice President of Internal Affairs, Claire Cerone, works to ensure that our chapter is getting the most out of the rigorous academics that Washington and Lee has to offer while also feeling both supported and motivated. During Exam week, our chapter hosts pizza parties to encourage everyone to study hard and have a well-deserved reward. The Zeta Tau chapter of Kappa at Washington & Lee had a chapter-wide average GPA of 3.58 during the Fall 2022 semester.
