Anyway...here's my .08 cent....

I think the GPA requirement should be raised on the local college level just a tadbit (I know each college has its own rules)....I'm not saying to a 3.0, but above a 2.5. Our national requirement should remain the same (Sorors...its not just a 2.5 overall -- its another part to that).

Reason: That's the minimum requirement to be active with 'us'...AKA. I've seen many young ladies who are selected with a 2.5 who become inactive after the semest they cross because of grades. And with us, that means NO participation. Some of them never return.

Hopefully, with a small cushion, sorors could remain active (financially/physically) and pull up their grads at the same time.

On the grad. level -- I think there should be a requirement as well; however, after so long, I don't think grades should matter. Also, if you obtain a graduate degree those grades should be looked at (I know...don't end a sentence with at! -- most graduate programs require you to have a 'B' or better average).

And before I get jumped on for wanting it raised....I have been to all types of schools from an HBCU undergrad (Dillard)...To a middle size non-HBCU (Illinois) to a top 20 law school (Vandy). And I know that schools vary...but a lot of schools take that into consideration in their grading system. For instance: Vandy's C+ is a 2.3; therefore, in order to be eligible to pledge, you just have a 2.3...not a 2.5. Most greek organizations (I don't know about all) follow the school's rules.
