ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR JOINING

Academic achievement is an important value of the Baylor Greek Life community. Students must meet minimum requirements to participate in a recruitment or intake process. 

Baylor policy states that a first-year student must have: 

  •  A minimum of 12 hours of academic credit during one semester in residence at Baylor University.
  •  Obtain a 2.67 cumulative GPA and a 2.00 current GPA to join a fraternity or sorority. 
  • Grades are NOT rounded up in determining eligibility.

However, many organizations require all potential new members to have a higher GPA to join their individual chapter. 

Baylor policy states that transfer students must have:

  • Attended a college, university or junior college during a fall or spring semester AFTER high school graduation. Dual credit or advanced placement NOT included.
  • To join first semester, a transfer student must have completed a minimum of 24 transfer credit hours with a transfer GPA of 3.0. Dual credit or advanced placement NOT included.
  • Grades are NOT rounded up in determining eligibility.
