Academic Achievement Policy

Kappa Alpha Theta Policy on Academic Achievement
Kappa Alpha Theta expects each member to achieve high scholarship and to develop to the fullest her intellectual, cultural, and social potential. Each chapter is required to set a definite scholarship average which members must maintain in order to retain the social privileges of active membership.
In addition, each chapter is expected to maintain an average above the All-Sorority Average (ASA) on its campus, and chapter bylaws shall establish specific grade requirements for officers.

Each college chapter is required to submit a written scholarship program on an annual basis. Each chapter is asked to designate its goals and objectives for the year and its plan for implementation. Because of the wide variation in grading scales on individual campuses, there is no Fraternity GPA requirement. Each chapter sets its own GPA minimum standards in its bylaws, not to be lower than the campus or Panhellenic minimum GPA. Many of our chapters choose to have a higher-than-required GPA.

High scholarship is expected of each individual member and each of our college chapters, which are closely monitored by the education district director. The cumulative GPA of the chapter must be above the ASA for the chapter to be considered in good standing.
