So freshmen new members are initiated prior to ever receiving any college grades. Granted, there may be a chapter here and there that delays initiation until after a quarter or semester is completed...and maybe someone on GC can comment on that.

The only grade requirement I'm aware of is that pertaining to eligibility for recruitment.
The problem in this case is that she has a previous college GPA that is too low from that one summer class. Some would have to count her as having a college GPA - but too low to initiate. So panhellenic let her go through recruitment, but some chapters might be wary of giving her a bid. Its one more reason the system often favors freshmen.
