Totally agreed. At W&L we had deferred recruitment and you had to get a minimum 2.0 in you fall semester freshman year in order to go through recruitment. Yet all five sororities had a minimum GPA of 2.25 and one was higher (2.33 I believe). So anyone who registered with below a 2.25 was sure to be cut unless the chapter really, really wanted them. I never understood why they didn't raise it to 2.25. I think it was because they wanted parity with the fraternities, which regardless of national rules would pledge anyone above a 2.0 and would in some cases try to "underground pledge" people with below that (eg send them through the pledging/hazing with the winter pledge class and officially register them with their nationals and the school during our short 6-week spring term at the end of the school year).
