I don't get this part (copied from the press release):
A set of standards designed to remedy the negative impact that pledging has had on academic life at the college. Both the students interested in rushing a Greek group and the group itself must maintain specific grade point averages.
If you're a national sorority or fraternity, you have to do this ANYWAY to remain in good standing. And most of the national groups have increased their standards above what the colleges ask (i.e. you need a 2.0 to rush, but XYZ requires you to have a 2.7). What do they think, that everyone should have a 4.0?

33girl-you're right. national sororities and fraternities require that you are in good standing and have a certain gpa to pledge. what the college is trying to do, is to reinforce that standard from both the Greek organization and also for the students interested in rushing. i think it's like how in a GLO's constitution or bylaws it states what requirements are needed for the person to rush that organization, the constitution that is written for re-recognition is just re-stating that idea.
