Cumulative GPA refers to the total academic performance as demonstrated by the grades received by the student while in attendance at the school where the chapter is found. Students must also maintain citizenship grades of satisfactory or above in all subjects (No N’s or U’s in any subject). The student must also have completed at least 12 hours of community service as of March 19, 2021.
