There was a handful (and I mean a handful) that would be okay because they were big time legacies, etc, etc...every house has different rules on their polices with grades, legacies, etc. This will only help all of the chapters with their overall GPAs and their academic goals. I bet this policy will only affect a few PNMs. I don't think there have been that many PNMs in the past with below a 2.5 GPA. I don't think this was something that the Panhellenic at Ole Miss just decided upon all of a sudden. I am sure they looked at other SEC schools' policies, GPAs for the sororities on campus, past GPAs, etc. They tend to take their new rules and policies pretty seriously.
