With the GPA thing, the way I've heard it is the highest GPA houses can take a risk on a girl they really like because one person isn't going to torpedo your average. The chapter with the lowest GPA has to really stick to their guns on GPA because it is so hard to improve an icky number.
I would think NOBODY is happy with all these girls dropping out thinking they've got an in with DG. Anyone who followed GC last year should know a LOT of girls were very disappointed to not get into a colony, particularly the A Phi colony comes to mind. It could end up harder to get into DG at Bama than through regular formal! And it's not like the chapters aren't going to be huge without these 400 girls. They won't have room to make up for a loss later just because so many girls made a hasty decision. I do wish them all the best, but fear the worst.
I'm interested to hear how many DG eventually takes, and how soon people start talking about the next colony!
