Our Founders charged us to "strive for high standards of achievement" and Sigma Kappa is committed to provide an atmosphere in which each member can achieve academic self-respect and self-responsibility.

Sigma Kappa recognizes that education is the primary goal of the collegiate experience and strives to provide a chapter life that supports this aim. Sigma Kappa further views scholarship as a means for developing a greater love of life and of the human spirit. Each Sigma Kappa chapter has an active scholarship program that provides challenging standards of excellence, motivation, and assistance so that each member can develop to her fullest academic potential and plan for a successful career.

Scholastic Standards

Sigma Kappa believes that each member needs to be sufficiently established academically so that she can participate, lead, serve, and enjoy her membership to the fullest. Therefore, each collegiate chapter sets minimum scholastic standards for initiation, for initiated members to maintain, and for officer and big sister eligibility. Our main goal at Delta Chi is to ensure that each member is in good standing with our chapter and obtaining their personal scholastic goals.

Currently, Delta Chi's scholarship program requires it's members to meet the standard minimum GPA or they will be placed on Academic Probation. All members who attain a GPA less than 3.0 are assigned five study hours each week. We would like to make our New Members transition from high school to college seem effortless. In order to do so New Members are assigned seven study hours each week and they are also required to turn in monthly grades checks from their professors. New Members are also given a "Study Buddy" who is an older member with a GPA higher than 3.0.

Rewards and Incentives

The ladies of Delta Chi have implemented numerous rewards and incentives into our scholarship program. Members who live in the house are assigned parking spots by GPA; highest in the front and lowest in the back. At each formal meeting a "Miss Non Miss" is named; this member receives a special award for not missing one class all week. Also, we nominate one member for our "Smart Cookie Award"; this member is someone that has studied extremely hard throughout the week or helped others to to achieve academic excellence. At the end of each semester; Delta Chi hosts a Scholarship Banquet to honor the ladies who strive for academic perfection. Awards like highest roommate GPA and highest Big/Lil GPA are given out. Also, each member that acquires a GPA of 4.0 will receive special recognition and a hefty award.
