No, we're all the same race, the human race, and despite our cutural differences there isn't a single thing that is makes us different where intellgence is involved.

I am going to take a leap here and assume that you are refering to students that are in Fraternity and Sorority houses GPA's as compared to those who are not involved with them.
At Washington State, compiled statistics show a slight edge to the non-greeks as illustrated below (not sure if this holds true nationwide):
Year* All Greek GPA All Campus GPA
2003-2004 2.86 2.94
2002-2003 2.82 2.90
2001-2002 2.80 2.85
2000-2001 2.82 2.97

define Geek? do u mean someone who doesnt dress that same as everyone else? or maybe someone who wears glasses? maybe its someone who doesnt drink or smoke pot?? is a geek someone who follows the rules? or just someone who still likes cartoons??? you'd have to be more specific? is a geek someone who enjoys school? or maybe someone who cares about thier grades? well... if u think a geek is someone who dresses differently from other people... well i've never heard of clothes that made you smarter. If a geek is someone who wears glasses... well glasses are JUST for eyesight... so that has nothing to do with home work , school, or grades. if u think a geek is someone who doesnt smoke or drink i guess you could say they'd have a higher gpa because thier not frying their brain as much as some kids are. following rules and watchin cartoons has nothing to do with gettin assignments in on time or doing class work so that cant be it... and last but not least if u think a geek is someone who enjoys school and cares about grades well then i guess its obvious that YES they'd have a higher gpa then someone who isnt a so called "geek". by asking that question not only did u make your self look stupid but u also made yourself look .... well... kinda GEEKY!

If the question is about "geeks", i believe that no they do not have a higher grade point average.
On the other hand, if you are talking about "Greeks", i do not want to sound insulting, but i believe that yes they do & it has to do with the culture more than anything else.

assuming greek = fraternity or sorority member.
If you live in the house to drink and party, you get lower GPA.
If you join a professional fraternity and study with other members, you GPA goes up.
