We worry about it because we're in competition with other chapters for guys during rush, and we're not just going to let other chapters take the best guys. If we have a shitty GPA then we're less likely to get those guys.
Also, we have a minimum initiation GPA, as well as a minimum for members to remain active. It's worthless to pledge someone only to have them not become a member of your house because they're too dumb or don't try.
You're right in saying that there are plenty of guys who can be great brothers who are at opposite ends of the GPA spectrum. I guess that I just want to have guys that will continue to be around into the future and won't fail out of school or the like, so GPA matters then. Having had friends flunk out or transfer schools because they lost scholarships pretty much sucks, particularly when they move back home and aren't around any more.
I don't need to get into ritual reasons but they're there.
