I don'think it should be raised....
Unfortunately all colleges are not created the same...a 2.3 is standard at schools like GA Tech where that is considered to be doing well!!!
As such, students who have a 2.5 are actually doing well...programs are not created the same...thus raising the GPA requirements at some schools would make it impossible to have a chapter. In fact, i've heard that Elite Liberal Arts Colleges and Ivy Leauges...Black Students Average GPA is 2.6...barely qualifying for the org.
As for other institutions (like many HBCU's) they require you to have a 2.7-3.0 to pledge regardless of national reqs. If i'm not mistaken, colleges can supercede certain national req.
Many of the history books note this problem, which is how the came up with a 2.5 GPA....especially at the onset of our organizations...since most flourished on Elite Historically White Colleges b-4 they began to make waves on the black campuses
