To each his own,
I agre with Deja about what your GPA reflects whether it be hard work and commitment or partying and socializing. I applaud anyone who works hard for their grades regardless of their outcomes or situations. Nevertheless, the members I have spoken in my area say that membership could threaten your grades based on the level of commitment it requires and also that of your academic studies. So I guess, if you are wobbly in your studies, some time may be needed to reaffirm yourself before seeking membership. Just my opinion.
Someone made a comment about people bragging about high GPA's. (This is not a personal attack on anyone) I find that there are people who brag and there are people who are proud. I finished my first semester freshman year with a very high GPA. I told my "friends" who told me that I must not have any social life or I must be a nerd. It hurts to have your accomplishments put down by others. When someone speaks about their grades, obtain from their tone if they are bragging or proud. I certainly appreaciated my friends who said you go girl instead of turning up their noses. Just a different perspective.
