Stan, agree with you on all points.
I think what Erik is refering to is back in our day.
Now, it is a fact that Greeks have raised the bar on Grades but at the same time have cut mandatory study periods as it is comsidered hazing.
The transition of being a Greek is forever changing and We on this Site see many more things than most do, even the Academians at each College.
There are very intelligent people on here who can find information in a moments notice and pass along to us.
As can be seen, the emphasis while not on Grades, the Bar is in place to attain what We as Greeks want to have our Members be. Well at least hope for!
