I just knew this question was going to pop up!
There is a difference between College Panhellenics and the University/College.
College Panhellenics cannot place restrictions upon recruitment participation or the membership criteria/standards of its member groups. The Manual of Information applies to the actions of the College Panhellenics, especially the Unanimous Agreements.
The College or University can place requirements, such as a minimum GPA or college credits completed, on the organizations on campus. If any such policies exist and are listed in the recruitment rules, it should be specifically stated that such policies are University/College requirements to be followed.
I have worked with chapter advisors who still do not get this after about four years of discussion. Totally drives me crazy!
