Grades are not directly indicative of intelligence, so it is problematic to make the argument that an organization with a GPA standard is discriminating on the basis of intelligence. And an organization that has scholarship as one of its primary purposes is hardly being snotty for emphasizing the importance of good grades, which generally lead to more employment options in the future.

There are organizations that do not consider scholarship to be relative to the organization, in other words they do not have a GPA requirement. That doesn't mean they are more accepting, it just means that they have a different focus.
