As stated in the policies for Greek Affairs, any student seeking involvement with a Greek organization must have a cumulative grade point average of 2.5. This will be checked by the Director of Greek Affairs through the Cumberland University CAMS Data system.
If your GPA does not meet this requirement, the Director of Greek Affairs will notify you that you are unable to participate in recruitment activities for academic reasons. No Greek organization will be notified. Additionally, some Greek organizations have higher grade point average requirements or standards than the 2.5.
Unless a student has a signed FERPA Agreement explicitly stating the Director of Greek Affairs has the right to distribute his/her academic record, no information can be supplied to any Greek organization’s national office, alumnae chapters, campus chapter, or any chapter officer or member.
A Greek organization may choose not to offer a bid to an individual based on missing academic information because that information assists them in determining a prospective new member’s alignment with the requirements/standards of the organization.
Any student who is concerned about this process or the privacy of their information is encouraged to contact the Director of Greek Affairs at
greekaffairs@cumberland.edu with any questions, concerns, or comments.
