Comparing University of Chicago and Washington University in St. Louis

[Sam_Lee]

<p>

2/3 of June 2008 grads graduated with honors (GPA > 3.25)

I read that Sigma Phi Epsilon chapter of Chicago boasted a chapter average GPA of 3.53 “head and shoulders above any other fraternity on campus, and even higher than the campus-wide GPA of 2.9.”

</p>

<p>Hmmm…to satisfy both, most of those that got above 3.25 don’t have high GPA (just barely above 3.25) and most of those with less than 3.25 are close to failing!!! (simple average: when 2 out of 3 have a GPA of 3.25, the remaining one has a GPA of 2.2 to bring the overall average to 2.9).</p>
