I know that my chapter went through the same issue. We were happy to have a high GPA cause it got us Greek Week points and points with our nationals, but at the same time we did have to fight the stigma of being "nerdy." I think it was self-perpetuating because the members kept recruiting the same kind of people - once some of them graduated and we got very different types in a pledge class it lessened. (So did our GPA, LOL, so be careful what you wish for.)

As SandS said, if the guys are hot and fun to hang out with, no one will mind. Now if they are recruiting guys that have no interest in anything other than Dungeons & Dragons, you have a problem because they won't be effective rushers. Impress upon them how important it is to have members with diverse personalities. Oh, and I wouldn't do things like putting "highest campus GPA" on rush posters - that will attract members only interested in grades, same as if you put "60% of our members are athletes" it would only attract athletes. Be glad that you have it, and play it up to your national, but don't brag about it on campus.
