While scholarship is not defined by any GPA, every student should strive for EXCELLENCE in his or her chosen field. If you're doing that, great, but I think the GPA should be raised.
Just want to preface this again by saying that I am only speaking for myself and can only speak to my preference for my sorority and that I don't mean to speak for other sororities.

I completely agree with you TRSimon. Yes, all, it is possible to major in a difficult subject, go to a good school and still maintain above a 3.0. I think that sometimes we really sell ourselves short. Further, yes, all of this can be done while being a well-rounded individual, maintaining community service and leadership as well. I'm sure that we all have living proof in each one of our organizations.

Good discussion.
