I agree with Blu.
One of the things we have to remember about our organization (or any NPHC) is that there's a huge focus on academics. The 2.5 minimum is just that, the MINIMUM. To be true sisters to each other we would encourage and expect higher and higher standards. Like Blu said, I enterd with a 3.6 GPA. So I knew that I would be in good standig for consideration. But when I actually became a member, expectations were even higher!!! I knew I better not let that GPA slip or sorors would be all over me.
And if it does slip, there better be a reason and if there is, they'll help you through it. So the standard shouldd't be changed in my opinion. Aside from the fact that a GPA always has the chance of inceasing; I'd rather have sorors with a 2.5 GPA who go to work, raise children, do community service, are active, have ideas to offer, etc... than have someone with a 4.0 and absolutely nothing else aside from a number to offer. Lord knows that just because you have book smarts, it doesnt neccesarily mean you have any other kind of "smarts". But thats just my opinion.
