Inflated GPAs

Since I'm nosey, I tend to look up scholarship reports from Greek Systems on different campuses. Last night I quoted a campus GPA and thought it seemed low in comparison to other schools that I look at. It wasn't until another GCr mentioned GPA inflation that it really made me think about it.

When I was in school (both high school and college), we went on a straight 4.0=A GPA system. A 4.0 actually meaned something! And, while we did get interrim marks for A- or B+, chapter GPAs rarely exceeded the 3.3 range, with most hovering around 3.1. What are your thoughts about chapter GPAs with inflated systems where A is greater than a 4.0?
