"Although there is no minimum grade point average required for registration, it is STRONGLY recommended you have at least a 2.8 high school and/or college grade point average. Please note that meeting this minimum does not guarentee membership in a sorority. In Recruitment 2010 the average high school grade point average of women receiving bids was a 3.710, and the average college grade point average was a 3.430. All submitted academic information will be verified against official transcripts on file with Florida State University, and academic information will be updated to match University records."

I can remember not too many years ago when chapters posted their minimum gpa requirement on their webpages.
I think this is a reasonable way to do it; not to have a "rule", per the Green Book, but to be realistic. In my mind, "don't rush with a 2.0" is like "you must get your own recs".
