Fraternity Men Score Lower GPAs By Nikki Werking Staff Writer Greek officials say that for the first time in at least five years, last semester’s grade point average for all male students at the University was higher than the GPA for fraternity members. According to the Fraternity and Sorority Report released Wednesday by the Office of Greek Affairs, the cam puswide all-men GPA for the fail 2001 semester was 2.927, and the all-fraterni ty GPA was 2.921. The all-sorority GPA was 3.158, and the all-women’s was 3.042. The all- Greek GPA for the semester was 3.072, and the non-Greek average was 2.997. Director of Greek Affairs Jay Anhom said the .006 gap between the all-men and all-fraternity GPAs is not significant and that the two numbers usually are ■ , ..MR -Tobacco I ■ Accessories I gift. -mm Glass I 'Clothing, I E> Wl Ail?XOWlM|§lb 'Professional Bodv Piercing . ■ and Jewelry (j* ;jfj -Romantic & V7 t'l v.

Rumsfeld: Raid Did Not Hit Taliban ■ The 14 Afghans killed by U.S. Army forces in a Jan. 23 commando raid were neither al-Qaida terrorists nor their Taliban supporters as first believed, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said Thursday. similar. He also said it is the first time in at least five years that the all-men GPA was higher than the all-fraternity GPA. “(The all-men and all-fraternity GPAs) are about the same this semester and have always been pretty close,” he said. But Interfratemity Council President Matt O’Brien said it was unexpected to see the Greek GPA fall below the non- Greek average. Anhom said he does not know of any specific reason why the ail-men GPA is higher this semester, but O’Brien attrib uted the difference to chance. “Everyone has their ups and downs,” he said. “We didn’t do poorly by any means, and Pm sure (the all-fraternity GPA) will correct itself by the end of this semester.” Anhorn said the all-fraternity GPA is traditionally higher than the all-men GPA, possibly due to the fraternity envi OJlip Sailg @ar HM ronment. “The fraternities have a good net work of people,” he said. “They all live together if they have a house, and if they don’t have a house, they socialize and work together all the time. Many (of the fraternity members) have the same professors and take sim ilar classes, and I think it gives them a better understanding (of their work).” Anhom also said the fraternities have academic standards set by national chap ters, as well as UNC, that must be main tained in order to remain an active group on campus and that fraternities try to reemit members with higher GPAs. “The fraternities have a certain GPA they have to maintain to stay active nationally,” Anhorn said. “Here at the University, fraternities must have a cumulative GPA over 2.5 or they lose their social privileges. So if they want to host any social functions, they need to keep up.” O’Brien said fraternities also offer rewards for performing well academi cally. Incentives offered by the fraterni ties are usually academic scholarships ranging in value from SSO to $4,000. Both O’Brien and Anhorn said they feel the difference between the all-fra ternity and all-men GPAs was nothing to worry about. O’Brien said he is confident that the all-fraternity GPA will once again be higher by the end of this year. “I’m sure that it was just last semes ter,” he said. “(The all-fraternity GPA) will be back up by the end of this semester.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu.
