What the someone will actually have to do is using the whole transcript and grading scale, go back and create a GPA unless the sororities already have a percentage grade cut offs they can use.
Although using the ratios makes total mathematical sense, I don't think people do it that way because the grades (A,B etc) that yielded that 81 have a wide variety of possible ranges.
(This was kind of a big deal in Georgia recently because of our HOPE scholarship. It was intended for B students and at first that meant giving kids who had 80 or above averages in high school the scholarship, but last year we converted over to actually requiring a 3.0.
Consider that a kid who had half 85s and half 75s in a system where 70-79 was a C and 80-89 was a B would have an 80 average, but a 2.5 GPA.)
