Scholastic performance is a personal endeavor dependent upon individual desire and motivation. It is a clear expectation of Delta Gamma Fraternity that each member will strive to reach her full scholastic potential. With the pressure on today's college students—school, family, friends, work, extracurricular activities plus planning for a future—it is often difficult to find a balance in one's life. However, when one places scholarship as a high priority, the other demands often fall into place.
The Delta Gamma collegiate experience enables each woman to explore new horizons, gaining insight and awareness into her world. While one cannot force another person to study and learn, Delta Gamma does encourage continual intellectual development. The student who gives earnest effort to scholarship reaps the greatest benefits from her collegiate experience.
In addition to improving one's chances of admission into a higher education program, there are many reasons why a Delta Gamma should desire high scholastic excellence. These include:
- Applying for financial assistance through Delta Gamma scholarships, fellowships and loans
- Belonging to honorary societies that will stimulate intellectual growth
- Having future employers looking more favorably upon candidates with a higher grade point average
- Having a chapter vote and run for elected positions
- Receiving possible rewards for scholastic excellence through the chapter, campus and community
- Developing further personally by exploring academic pursuits
