From what I know the athletes just need to be in good academic standing with the university.
Student government has no GPA requirements. I am a member of student government. Or president elect was actually kicked out of school this fall for grades and course completion rate. As a member of the student government's constitution commission, I am looking at changing that.
Greeks, as far as I know, are the only group which has a gpa requirement that is higher than what is considered good standing. I believe there were only 3 groups out of 11 that made grades (Alpha Chi, Gamma Phi, ASA, and LXA).
I do not think it is fair for the university to put standards on us only because we should put them on ourselves. We as an organization should strive to beat the average.
I will be contacting reps from St. Cloud, Winona, and the U on Monday to question their standards (if any). When greeks were brought on to Mankato we had to agree to a formal contract which mandated grades, community service, and a certain percentage of members involved in other campus groups.
Another question.... Does PHC and IFC recieve any sort of funding from the university at your respective schools?
