::Scholarship::

The Iota Omega Chapter at Bloomsburg University feels that scholarship should be every member's number one priority.  To create an atmosphere conducive to learning, we have formed a scholarship committee.  The scholarship committee was established with three major objectives.  These objectives are:

  1) to create a scholarship program
  2) to administrate and enforce the scholarship program
  3) to constantly review and improve the scholarship program.

Standards and policies:

The Scholarship Committee has lain out a list of guidelines at are to be meet or followed to ensure the fraternal scholarship obligations. 

• A new member must have a grade point average of 2.3 or higher and meet all school requirements to join. 

• A member whose grade point average slips below a 2.2 will be on social probation until scholarship committee rules otherwise. 

• Multiple weekly study sessions are to be run by scholarship committee in the library. Attendance varies on status with the fraternity. 

• A listing of University teachers is to be kept by the scholarship committee. 

• Grades are checked during the midway point of each semester. 

• A rewards program for the member with the highest grade point average. 

• Maintain an academic calendar with import events (mid terms, finals)

These Standards and Policies , along with our strong view on the importance of Scholarship within the fraternity have proven very useful as an additional means of educational guidance and reform.
