This is what sororities do. Just being honest, though... it doesn't always work out for us, but it's better than nothing.

Yes, I'm just talking about 1st semester freshmen. We do utilize academic indexing of rushees during recruitment. It's always an unspoken rule of thumb though go after the guys with good grades, good involvement, good personalities. We don't have a set in stone requirement for rush b/c some guys who may have not tried so hard in H.S. can come to college and do extremely well (case in point...me). But the Greek system also has a minimum HS GPA to even rush, so those safeguards are built into the system.
