I was a recruitment counselor last year and one of my girls didn't put down a GPA or something. She somehow made it through to the last night before Preference before a Panhellenic member came up to me to find out what her deal was. The chapters had repeatedly invited her back, despite the fact they didn't have a GPA for her or the right GPA. I had to confront the PNM and tell her that if she had to tell us her true GPA. I also had to find out why she was lying to the chapters. She told me that her friends were doing the same thing and that they "knew" they would never get caught telling the chapters that they had higher GPAs than they really did. Needless to say, I explained the whole grade release process and that if she didn't tell the truth now, she would get dropped by most of the sororities if she ended up there becasue they could get her GPA from the school. It took me a good 20 minutes explaining to this girl that she was wrong and that we in fact could get her grades as soon as she signed the release form for her grades. It was such a mess and a pain in the butt having to deal with.
IF YOU'RE A PNM GOING THROUGH THIS FALL- DON'T LIE! THE CHAPTERS WILL FIND OUT YOUR GRADES. IT WILL ALSO CAUSE YOU LESS EMBARRASMENT TELLING THE TRUTH UP FRONT THAN WAITING UNTIL YOU'RE IN A CHAPTER AND HAVE TO BE RELEASED DUE TO GRADES!
