There's more to a Member than a GPA
I agree that members of Alpha should be solid academically, thats a given. I think a 2.5 is acceptable. But theire is more to a member than a GPA. I look at community involvement, character, personality, savvy and ambition. I know many brothers who many not be strait A students, but who know how to make things happen, who are innovative and involved. I know many Bros with high grades who maybe so busy academically, that they don't participate in as many things as others. In a nutshell...I believe that you have to be exceptional at something and have something of value to bring to the table. 3.0s and higher is great, but that woun't run a chapter by itself...you need other characteristics to go with it. If you have a 2.5 and you are innovative, creative, outgoing, dynamic, and get things done...thats what we need. If all you got is a 4.0 and you can't even work well with other people, you might not be very useful to anyone but yourself.
Don't get me wrong...having decent grades should be a given,
but grades aren't the end-all be all of measuring someones ability.
