Academics
Mizzou Zeta's GPA is ranked 5th out of the 15 chapters at Mizzou, with our average GPA being 3.7.That number put us above the All Female as well as the All Greek GPA of the University of Missouri! As Zetas, we value education and it is our top priority. We have designated study hours for new members, pages to see which of your sisters are in your classes, and more! We are so proud of the 279 Zeta women that continue to make academics a priority!
