grades and recruitment

[ASUADPi]

A lot more recently PNM's are coming to Greekchat and asking for advice about recruitment, and they have low GPA's.

I got to thinking about it and I'm wondering why the schools have GPA requirements to allow girls to go through recruitment that are LOWER than what the chapters will accept?

I know that some schools may only require a 2.5 for a girl to go through recruitment, but some sororities their nationals has said "you may only accept girls who have a ? gpa" (2.8, 3.0, etc...).

So my question is why are the schools allowing these girls to go through recruitment? I don't want to be mean, but all it does is give them false hopes. If the school knows that the most if not all chapters won't accept anyone with lets say less than a 2.8, shouldn't they raise their minimum to be theirs? To me that seems the most logical.

I've already had to tell 2 PNM's, as politely and nicely as possible, that their low GPA's and non-freshman status doesn't help them in recruitment, in fact it will hinder them. I truly feel bad, but I also don't feel that they should be mislead by anyone here or even at the university that they will in fact receive a bid.

Thoughts? Discussion?
