I actually agree with the rest of your post so I'm not trying to be rude, but this is fraternity rush, not sorority rush...really, really good chance they didn't even have this information, and if they did have it there's even more of a good chance they didn't look at it or care. In the vast majority of fraternities that I've seen (including my collegiate chapter) GPA and activities (save for being on the roster of the college sports that mattered on campus) didn't give any sort of an edge...it was literally all about personality. We pledged some absurd grade risks because we thought they were fun, and cut plenty of guys with what I'm sure were impeccable resumes because they didn't fit in.
I do think the one thing about fraternity rush is that at the vast majority of schools you are picking which chapters to look at...often those who do not get bids to the chapters they look at have a bit of a disconnect with where they want to fit in/think they fit in vs. where they actually do fit in. He must be feeling awful right now, but if he decides to rush again (and he should...at most campuses re-rushing rushees are not looked down upon unless they are going for the same chapters) make sure he casts his net wide and looks at a variety of chapters at the initial stages.
