It's not really a hijack because it does affect the rushees. The admissions requirements are very different now. Georgia is very difficult to get into so lots of good students apply to neighboring states making the applicant pools larger there. That's just onje reason some state universities are still safety schools but nothing like it was.
So lots of the girls going through rush at some state schools are high gpa, high SAT, super girls making it harder to stand out.
Re: the focus on GPA, it makes me think of when colleges wanted the most well-rounded students. Now the focus is on the well rounded student body, where each member has a strength. I think the sorority is the same. If all the members are leaders, whom will they lead? Each house needs scholars, athletes, nurturers, organizers, leaders, and yes, followers. So,imho, the gpa is only one of the things to consider.
