Another Thing
Msn4med1975 brought up a good point. My ex-wife graduated with a 2.75. That did not raise eyebrows or garner her any accolades. However, she was one of those people that initially chose the wrong major and suffered for it. She tried Engineering, then Computer Science. After getting too many C's and realizing that she was not cut out for those fields, she finally realized that she loved working with children and chose Elementary Education. She had over a 3.0 in her major classes, but since she still had those pesky C's from her previous classes she finished at 2.75. She then went on to get about a 3.92 or so in graduate school(this rat bastard gave her a "B" in her final semester-she had a 4.0 up to that point). Now, if we are using the standard "3.0 or you are not exhibiting scholarship" philosophy, people like her that actually ended up displaying scholarship in the end and becoming productive in their careers would have been deemed too "dumb" to make the cut.
I'm sorry if it seems like I am rambling about this, but this is one of my pet peeves about Greekdom.
