Using the numbers from the first 12 hours under deferred recruitment is flawed I think.

Joining a GLO takes a significant time committment. If we are truly committed to our members' grades (or having members with good grades), then we need to judge their abiltiy to perform academically while under the stress of being a pledge/new member.

Some only require a 2.0? Wow.

My chapter requires new members to make above the all-men's GPA (usually around a 2.6).

If the current policy is aimed at reducing hazing, you might consider requiring chapters to submit their pledge process calendar to your office in writing, and to inform their pledges of their initiation date assuming that they fulfill the requirements.
