Not a smart move IMO. The GPAs of almost all the chapters are above the all male average. There are a few problem chapters, but even then, it's not that bad. I'm not sure how/if pledge GPAs would count towards the chapter GPA, but that is a big issue. A lot of kids who are good students struggle their first semester trying to adapt. Now, a pledge who is finding out he is in the wrong major, or simply trying to adjust and gets a 2.0 (bad, but could be much worse) will almost certainly be cut. I understand what they're trying to do, but they're trying to fix a non-problem, and it can only hurt the greek system.
