Frankly, it does not seem fair that Panhellenic would allow a girl to rush with a lower GPA than what is required by at least one chapter.

It depends on the school. My school required a 2.5 to go through recruitment.

But that doesn't mean that at least one sorority HAS to have that GPA. The national GPA requirments of all the NPC sororities on my campus are all AT LEAST 2.5 to start with. Then we all chose on our own to make our GPAs even HIGHER in our local bylaws (NPCs can choose to make their GPAs higher than the minimum required by their HQ).

So as of 2006 recruitment, the Panhellenic GPA requirement to rush was just a 2.5, but the LOWEST individual sorority GPA was a 2.75. So yes, girls would sign up with a 2.5, but be released by all chapters for grades because they didn't meet any of the individual sorority GPAs. I've never really thought that was fair, but that's even more of an incentive for girls to be sure they have high enough grades.
