Sorry, let me clarify. The requirement of a 3.0 would be your individual chapter's GPA requirement and would be well above the minimum GPA required by the school. Then if you felt there was a man that encompassed the values of the fraternity, but didn't have the chapter's minimum GPA and was still above the school's required GPA, you could except him.
For example, my chapter requires a 3.0 GPA from high school, while the university only requires a 2.3 or 2.4 GPA from high school. If a potential recruit encompassed our values and a proven leader, but was unable to obtain a 3.0 high school GPA we have a the ability to lower the requirement to a minimum 2.75 GPA. Then I have faith in our pledge program and the chapter to teach him time management and the importance of scholoarship.
In my opinion the greek system should be in the business of taking good men or women and making them great men and women. As the case would be for UNLDelt that didn't do so hot in high school, but has exceled in college.
