I know. And I appreciate that you are bringing it up.
Its just in theory when you join a GLO your grades should not fall. I said should not, but I am sure we all know of people who's grades suffered.
Looong ago when I was a pledge, during that time you had to do stuff - learn aspects about the sorority, bonding activites, attend meetings, and if you followed what was written, then your grades should not fall. The unfortunate problem with the pledge period is that sometimes big sisters / big brothers / Dean of Pledges would take a few of the activities to an unnecessary extreme, hence falling grades of the pledges.
Alot of chapters do maintain a GPA requirement and GLO members usually have higher GPAs on campus. And, most GLOs that I know of offer scholarships to their members, so you need to have a high GPA just to apply for money from your own org.
