I have to totally agree with this since we pledged at the same school. There are some members of the greek community there that leave a lot to be desired. And like you said, there are now members of my chapter that are less than I would have selected also. However, I believe that has to do with the calibur of people that are being accepted to USM now.

I have noticed that the calibur of undergrad candidates that have gone through my chapter are less than what I would have selected. 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.
