Usually in a large pledge class the pledges have to spend much more time at the house and social events/intermurals etc just to get to know the brothers-which takes time away from the prime purpose of why we are in college-Academics.

This is why I used the phrase "you could say" when I wrote: "Actually, you could say that a larger pledge class can afford a guy with grade issues more study partners."
I didn't mean to infer that large pledge classes have better grades. Just that there would be more members who might - note might - might be able to help and equally important, have the time to help.
I am not trying to start a debate regarding "large" pledge classes (or GLO chapters) versus "small". However, I am simply trying to point out that both size groups have similar requirements (minimum GPA) and obligations (mandatory events) regarding their GLO. That both "small" and "large" pledge classes spend time at the house, attend social events and participating in intramurals etc.
Now granted, you may not be able to spend as much time with each and every guy as you would like, but you do have the ability - note I used ability - to have any number of guys to hang out with at any given time. To help you with academics. To talk with you regarding problems. To join you in a pick up game of hoops. To just hang out with. Again, I am not saying that the larger the size the better the experience but that the experience can be just as rewarding.
Basically, you get out of your GLO what you put into it.
