nursing major

What sororities focus most on academics rather than partying as much? I'm going to be a nursing major and will need to dedicate quite a bit of my time to studying, but still want to be in a sorority. Thanks!

Chi Omega and Alpha Chi Omega put a lot of emphasis on grades and GPA, followed by Alpha Delta Pi. I would recommend one of these three.

You can go to the Greek Affairs site and see now the sororities ranked for grades for the past several semesters.
But there are no sororities that "focus on partying" or "focus on academics." All the sororities want well-rounded women who excel at academics and can have a responsible good time.
Even within a sorority, you will find members who concentrate on academics and those who seem to be there for the partying.
You can also find heavy-duty partiers among non-greek students.
Find a group in which you feel comfortable, where you look around and see friends.
The rest will follow.

The GPA of each sorority isn't really a good indicator of which one is the most academic. All will try and take high stat girls to off set their low gpa girls. Fashion merchandising majors, communications... are a bit easier than pre med or nursing majors. When going through recruitment ask if they have nursing majors. Many will introduce you to nursing students. Ask how many upper division nursing students they have. Just because girls are nursing majors doesn't mean they are good students and will get accepted to the upper division. If they have girls in the upper division, then you will know it is a good fit. I know girls who are in higher gpa sororities as well as lower gpa sororities in the upper division. I know girls who are in higher gpa as well as lower gpa sororities who had to transfer or change their major because they couldn't get in. Only a few that you should stay away from, Alpha Phi-not the brightest, KKG &KD big partiers. All the rest, are fine. Keep in mind there isn't that much of a difference between a 3.2 and 3.5 when you're talking college. One bad student can ruin a sororities gpa, while a sorority full of easy majors can seem like they are really studious. The above poster who said AXO, XO and ADPi is full of it. I know girls from ADPi who skipped classes and didn't make it in the nursing program. I know lots of girls from AOPi, DZ,Alpha Gam...& Theta who are in upper division! Sounds to me like an ADPi tooting their horn again.

Alpha Chi is def a sorority that focuses more on grades; however, I do agree that the smart thing to do is ask sororities about nursing majors in the upper divisions during rush. I had a few friends in Pi Phi, who graduated from nursing school w/ very good GPA's.

There are plenty of nursing majors in every single house. How you do in school depends on how YOU manage your time, not what the rest of your sorority is doing
