NWU Students Post Big Fat Greek GPA
We've long known that Nebraska Wesleyan's Greek system is filled with strong students. The North-American Interfraternity Conference Just provided another way to prove it. It released a list of the continent's top fraternity community GPAs for the 2012-2013 academic year, and Nebraska Wesleyan University ranks fifth. So who are we behind?
- Rockhurst University 3.46
- Washington University 3.44
- Vanderbilt University 3.405
- University of Pennsylvania 3.366
- NWU 3.32

Memory: When we had a race between two guys in the house last spring it was quite the spectacle to behold. We went up to the track to make it a level playing field, and there was a little kid track meet going on, so we went to the backstretch of the track. Right before the race it started pouring rain, so one of the racists (racers? who knows) took his shirt off. At the end of the track there were several small children who were cowering in fear because of the hairy, wet, shirtless man that had just ran towards them victorious. Needless to say, it was pretty entertaining.

Living in the house was always an interesting experience,
with Monday night meetings and the weekly Critic. Aside from the annual Back 2
School Bashes I would say the Pledge Sneak trip to visit the Theta Chi chapter
at Central Missouri State University was a pretty fun time.

There are way too many to list here, but some that stick out in my mind occurred on our trips to visit the brothers at the Epsilon Phi chapter at the University of Central Missouri. Those were always fun trips, and it was nice to get to know other Theta Chis from the region.
