I am still shocked and sad that she was cut by so many chapters after Philanthropy Days.
If the by laws for these sororities state that they can only pledge a 3.0, this should be conveyed to the PNMs prior to recruitment. A lot of heartbreak and tears could be avoided.

I can't speak for the bylaws of individual sororities, but anything below a 3.0 may be difficult to overcome in a competitive SEC recruitment. So many girls go through with super high GPAs -- often anything below a 3 is considered a "grade risk."
The girls that I know of going through with GPAs lower than 3 at bama had fewer choices.
The 2.5 is a Panhellenic number -- but Panhellenic does not dictate how pnms are selected by individual sororities (including how heavily weighted grades are in the process).
