In 2001, I can't speak for everyone but ours is still a 2.5 nationally and 2.7 or 2.8 on most HBCU campuses. I know the Sigmas still don't have a "hard " minimum, I don't know about anyone else.
DIRTYMIKE1906: in the brotherly spirit, I won't comment on any Alpha stereotypes and I'll accept your post in a good-natured spirit.
KNOWLEDGE/ETERNAL: Omega also has the most college presidents of ny NPHC organization.

Doggystyle,
Where did you get the idea that Alpha required a 2.3 when you crossed? I crossed in October 1980; and that's not what it was when I pledged. I applaud your organization on its accomplishments, but c'mon now man; some of your statements are debatable.
As for misconceptions, some of them are more than real. I'm aware of how we(Alphas)are perceived in the south. But we(MEMBERS OF GREEK-LETTERED ORGANIZATIONS)all should know that these realities exist regionally; not nationally. One chapter may do things according to the guidelines of their Nationals, another may operate autonomously; and THAT chapter may be the one bad apple that spoils the rep of the bunch.
I think every organization has some bad apples(chapters/individuals) somewhere in the country.
