At the school where I went to, I believe that you sign a card releasing the information to the sororities. In my sorority you have to have a 3.0 on a 4.0 scale from HighSchool and a 2.25 in college. If any women is below them we cut them as soon as possible (ie as soon as we get their grades) so that they are not mislead into thinking they may get a bid. This is the reason why we do not wait until grades are in to initiate. Anyone we accept will already have the grades.
The idea behind the grades for the obvious reason is because you are in college to get a degree first, so that comes before it. Secondly because of the restrictions placed on a member without grades, it is believed that they will not have the time to commit to the organization because they need to focus on their grades more.
