The
information regarding my secondary source number two is from an article called
"Does Going Greek Impair Undergraduate Academic Performance?".
The article discusses the academic performances of Greek members compared
to non Greek members. Below is a statement from the conclusions section of the
article.
“…members
of Greek-lettered organizations averaged a 1–2 percent lower cumulative GPA by
their senior year than their non-Greek counterparts. However, they were in a
better position to graduate on time because relatively more had GPAs above the
minimum 2.00 requirement and relatively more had declared majors compared with
their non-Greek counterparts” (Grubb, 1110).
This
information shows that although Greek members may have a lower average GPA than
non-Greek members, they are still more likely to graduate on time because of
GPA requirements set forth by the Sorority or Fraternity. Sororities and Fraternities all have certain
requirements pertaining to academics to make sure that the members are
successful students. I will use the information in this article in both my
research speech and documentary. The information presented above can be used to
disprove the common stereotypes that sorority women are dumb and don’t care
about academic success.
