I guess I'm going to go against the hive here (what else is new?). Social fraternities and sororities are exclusive by definition. If you really wanted to be truly inclusive, you'd just have a table with a sign-up sheet for anyone who wanted to join. After a meeting where you explained the costs, you'd get payment from those who were above the GPA threshold and could afford it and welcome them to your pledge class (oops, forgot, calling women "pledges" could be considered to be "hazing").



But wait, what if she can't make the minimum GPA threshold? Are you being ableist by excluding her? What if she can't afford it? Shouldn't you provide her a scholarship? Do we have a level playing field if we exclude those who can't pay dues? Who would want to be in a chapter like that? Over-correction is a thing.
