Love it MP!

One thing I have to throw in - for several NPC groups there is a minimum incoming GPA below which the IHQ will not allow someone to be initiated. Back in the day, when initiation wasn't until the 2nd semester, you could be held over until the 3rd semester to bring your grades up and be initiated. Now with schools encouraging shorter pledge periods all chapters might have to go on is high school GPA to predict whether someone will be able to maintain good scholastic standing and still be an active participant. (Its after all - still an honor society.)

CPCs want to be friendly and inclusive so the minimum GPA to rush is often lower than what some of the chapters have to have to be square with their executives. A chapter that has problems maintaining overall standing with grades might have had that minimum number increased to help improve their standing.

Translation: No matter how adorable your triple legacy SGA President/cheerleader/soup kitchen founder is there is a minimum GPA that I CANNOT allow her to be initiated, so we are being nice to try to cut those women early.
