My GPA was its highest ever when I pledged.
There was just no room for procrastination, so I was way more focused and got all my work and papers out of the way long before they were due. Also, there was absolutely ZERO tolerance for skipping classes! My grades didn't slip until the semester after I crossed! I guess I was just so glad to be free and greek, that I fell into my old academic ways! If done correctly, a good pledge process should make you more focued and disciplined than ever. My advice is that you carry that academic discipline over into the post-pledge/neophyte period! Don't let the greek events and road trips keep you from maintaing good grades! Sometimes neo-fever can cause more GPA issues than pledging!
