Am I missing something about this?
I have no idea. We didn't have locals either. I think Millersville explains it pretty well:

Although the Panhellenic Council does not require a specific GPA to participate in Recruitment, the individual chapters establish their own requirements. The chapters strongly adhere to these grade requirements, and the University requires that all potential new members have at least a 2.3 GPA to join a sorority.
