"Movies tend to exaggerate hazing, but at the same time they make it look like you can pledge and still get A's," she said. "And that is just not true."

I would actually agree, especially at UVA.

I think the grade inflation may help.

--Zinger!

well, i had a 3.8 my pledge year of SAE, so I don't know what that aricle is talking about. Most good chapters will make you study as a pledge so that everyone can make their chapters grade requirements.

well, I had a 4.0 when I pledged. My pledge class combined GPA was something like 3.7. Our Most recent was about 3.8. It can happen.

That's as untrue as any other greek-related stereotypes.

I like how the person who made the comment about not being able to pledge and get A's is not a Greek and therefore has never pledged. Funny, I didn't know you could give valid opinions on something you never experienced.

Oh, you can have opinions about stuff you don't know anything about...but that doesn't mean they're accurate. ;)

For the record, I got a 4.0 during my pledge semester.

I didn't know you went to UVA -- awesome!

Didn't you say you go to UTexas in another thread?

yeah, why??

When I was an assistant chapter advisor years ago, we had a brother who held a number of pledge and active offices and managed a 4.0.

He is serving his residency now.

He reminded me a lot of the president of my pledge class who is now head of surgery at a major "big city" hospital.

It's not impossible.

Not easy, either.

I think that if you can just go to all of your classes you can atleast make C's and B's

Yeah, that's reasonably important.
