Academics

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.

Academics are very important to Kappa Kappa Gamma. Strong academics are promoted by our Academic Excellence Director and our Academic Committee, which incentivizes good grades, promotes study tips, and most importantly recognizes that we are students first. Hard work and achievement are celebrated in chapter with an "A of the Week" award as well as an "A of the Month" award, highlighting well-deserved members who received the highest amount of A's on tests and projects. Multiple members of Epsilon Mu graduated as valedictorians of their high school, several are on scholarship here at Clemson, and many are also part of the Clemson Honors College. Academics are an important part of who we are here at Epsilon Mu, and every year members graduate with honors and go on to graduate school or to have successful careers. Every Kappa is bright, talented and capable, and we encourage all our members to put academics first.
