Well, the results are in.
It's fair to say that we are excited, but not necessarily surprised.
Reports from the university put Delta Theta Sigma as 3rd in grades among OSU fraternities. This came from a 3.3 GPA. Yes, it is not first, we realize that. But it is much closer to the top than we have been recently. The past few quarters have been rough with our men taking some of the most challenging courses Ohio State has to offer. We were finally able to turn the countless hours of homework and studying into results, however.
These high marks came from a variety of new initiatives.
First: DTS instituted a rudimentary form of study tables. This caused more men to travel to the libraries in droves. The Science and Engineering Library (open 24/7) saw many members pass through its doors, with wide gaps from entrance to exit. Long hours were spent hitting the books, calculations were made, and many chapters were read.
Secondly, we resurrected a formerly failed idea of "Academic Fantasy Teams." The four members with the highest GPAs drafted the rest of the house, creating four separate teams. This friendly competition caused team members to pair up for studying purposes, and discouraging sloth-like behaviors. This was one of the catalysts of the mass exodus to libraries across campus.
Due to these factors combined with the hard work and determination, thoughtfulness, and sincerity of the members, our grades skyrocketed to 3rd place. Now, third place is only a bronze medal, and we are going for gold. The good news is: we blew the other agricultural fraternities clear out of the water in terms of grades, just another subtle reminder of the reasons Delta Theta Sigma is excelling.
As aforementioned, we are going for gold. Look forward to this year consisting of even MORE library trips, stronger study table sessions, and overall better GPAs. We don't settle for third place. It is a motivator to keep on trucking to get to the top!
