I don't think MS's confidentiality is crappy. But if there are arbitrary metrics for choosing PNMs, why can't those be public? It just seems off to me. Who are these organizations that have a confidential minimum GPA?

Like I said before, I think I know where the OP goes to school and the GPAs for almost all the sororities are all over a 3.0. Obviously, some must be lower than a 3.0 to get that average, but when you have a large percentage of PNMs with high GPAs, unfortunately, the girls with lower ones could be very well on the bubble of being cut.
No disagreement here; that's exactly the point I was trying to make above.

Plus I am just putting it out there, but girls with lower GPAs could be scrutenized more carefully at more competitive campus'. You can have a girl with a 2.75, the minimum to rush, but she also holds an student government position, is involved with the student newspaper and plays a sport. Whereas, you can have a girl with a 2.75 who isn't involved in anything.
Again, no disagreement here.

I would think most of us would agree that grade cuts usually come early on.
Yes, as they should. There's no reason to hold out false hope. My chapter always tried to make them at first round if at all possible.

The OP in this situation was cross-cut on bid day.
I understand. I really wasn't commenting on her situation.
