I happen to agree with this. I enjoy being in such a Skee-nominal organization , however I have noticed that the calibur of undergrad candidates that have gone through my chapter are less than what I would have selected. On the flip side, I'm sure there are some before me that feel the same way, and so on it goes. I think the fact that less AA's are going to college, (very few males), and the fact that in Mississippi the average ACT needed to get in is a 16, we as organizations have had to lower our standards or we would not have anyone in our organizations. Just being real. I can't speak for all of the other orgs. and colleges, but when I pledged as an undergrad in '97, the lowest gpa on our line was a 2.9. In fact, our chapter's guidelines were 2.9 and above. (we have sinced had to change them because somebody went crying to their mommy and blah blah blah... I say they should have been crying because their gpa was so low. I digress ) I love being able to associate with other members of AKA as well as other greeks. The common bond that we all share is the upliftment of our people. This is evidenced by the rich histories that we all share.
I totally agree, and to reiterate [although I know you already get this] I was speaking for EVERY org and am not "singling out" AKA [and you know this, we've already gotten a glimpse of the "future" of KAPsi, AKA and DST anyway ]!
