Are you really advocating that GLOs have no minimum standards for GPA?

No, again I said the 2.5 minimum GPA is reasonable. But I do think many people overestimate its importance.
I mean...what would really happen if those GPA standards were removed? If you still recruited students who were active on campus, good leaders, had a high amount of service hours, etc. what serious negative consequences could there be?
My chapter (the service GLO) has gone without GPA minimum requirements for a long time. We still managed to attract students who were academically successful anyway.
Being active on campus and being successful academically is highly correlated in the first place. The few who did have really low GPAs, weren't any different from members who had high grades...in terms of participation, how well they did their jobs as officers, and how well they got along with other members.
