First of all having a high GPA has never been a detriment to anyone. Like someone said above, (and I can't remember who said it), it gives the parents a reason to look differently at the Greek system as a whole.
Secondly, in reference to above quote, I take offense to the comment that state universities give easy As. If that were the case I would not have worked my ass off to get a 4.0 every semester, I could have just sat back and partied and not worried about grades. I'm no dummy, and comments like that are rather outrageous. Like my degree is any less fab than someone else's because I went to a state school? Please.
Before we go insulting state schools by inferring that they give easy As, I'm sure people that go to state schools like UMich, UCLA, and Cal could comment on that statement. Though not as prestigious as Harvard or Yale, my degree, from a state school no less, is a Bachelor's Degree. The course of study I followed included more classes than some from other more prestigious schools with the same major. Don't denigrate my degree and the education I received because it wasn't covered in Ivy.
Getting off my soapbox now, I just got really peeved with that comment.
