A young woman graduating from a Mississippi high school that doesn't have a 3.0 is going to have a hard time at college -- let alone in a sorority. Panhellenic/IFC rules calculate GPA using all 4 years of HS grades. College admissions over-weight sophmore and junior year (and first half of senior year) grades knowing some kids don't catch-fire until the last half of high school. Honors college admissions over-weight HS grades from competitive high schools. They particularly favor boarding schools. So Miss Porters and Maderia trumps Jackson HS.
No one on this thread knows exactly what's happening in those chapters. So while discretion may be the better part of valour -- and agree that mother could use a dose -- it's also easier for a PNM to accept she was cut for grades rather than some other more "personal" attribute. Sometimes a figleaf is a good thing. I happen to think kindness is the better part of valour. This thread could use some.
