One reason schools may not want to be the ones to discourage those young ladies with low grades could be to cover themselves from possible action under ADA. They know which students receive services from their Special Services Department (some schools known as Disabled Students Union) and cannot prevent them from participating in activities under the ADA laws. In that case, it is easier on the schools to let each chapter make the determination as to whether to accept the young lady or not. Since women with good grades are released along with those with low grades, it is much harder to come back and claim she was discriminated against based on grades. The rec may include a statement regarding the young lady's disability and the chapter has the right to accept it or reject it based on their own chapter's/national's guidelines.
