But on the flip side...
Every year, we have a much larger number of girls sign up for Recruitment than actually go through--because grades come out and they are no longer eligible. I've always thought of it from the standpoint that if we had Fall Recruitment, we could work with these girls to get their grades up and have them in our scholarship programs from the beginning. Plus, quota would be higher and we could raise total back to where it was a few years ago. Now I acknowledge how wonderful it is that every girl who pledges is academically eligible to be initiated. Although we stress scholarship (after all, my girls better keep their #1 status on campus!!!), it's not a constant worry like it would be if they were in their first semester. I would hate to have to come to a new member and tell her she wasn't eligible for initiation with her class due to her first semester grades.

It is a luxory that you have am I right? Well for the moment? One never knows from Semester to another.
So, then maybe my question would be, they have great GPA, but what else can they do?
Are they totally well rounded?
