Scholastic Focus

Scholastic excellence is very important to us at Beta Sigma Psi. When adjusting to school and life away from home, many students find it difficult to meet the academic challenges of university life alone. Luckily, Beta Sig provides a home away from home and numerous older students who are happy to help. It is not unusual to see Beta Sigs studying together in the lounge or an older brother helping a younger brother with his homework. In addition to a formal scholarship plan, designed to encourage good study habits, Beta Sigma Psi also has its own personal Faculty Advisor and Alumni Advisor who are always on hand to assist members academically or in navigating the university rules and regulations.

In recent years, Beta Sig has maintained one of the top GPAs among fraternities. Considering that the University of Illinois is a top tier institution and has the largest Greek system in the United States, that’s quite an accomplishment.
