Well, first and foremost, if I offended some of you, I do apologize, I did not mean to touch "soft skin." Okay boss, you get my respect for pledging before I did, but I will not bite my tongue for no one, call me hard headed, or what else, blame my grandmother.. Nevertheless, I am also familiar with the poem "He's not heavy, he's my brother," oh so well, so spare me the history lesson.. I work hard for my chapter, extremely hard, so I expect for everyone else to do so as well, so when I hear talk of GPA, it bothers me because I feel a 2.5 is too low.. A college student's first priority should be school, aside from personal, financial, or physical/mental problems they have.. Student's not in these categories have valid reasons for not achieving high GPAs, but students not in these categories have "no excuse." There are tutors, instructors who will stay after hours to help, as well as other sources of help. if you major is too hard, work harder.. I don't care what school you go to, a 3.0 and above is not hard to attain with the right attitude.. My reference to stats was figurative, I do apologize that you were not able to grasp the concept, I will try not to let it happen again.. I meant "stats" as far as what they do, the production they get out of their time such as community service, grades, extra-curricular activities, etc... I won't even get personal such as saying something like "Then I'm Glad for two reason's: one that you didn't try to pledge BETA ALPHA Chapter and Two I didn't pledge at your chapter." Because that point can be disputed endlessly for both sides... I am also open to comments, because conversations like these often times lead to contructive actions... Bring it on..
