When I was pursuing membership into Sigma, I had a 2.8 gpa as a chemistry major. I was also a regional officer for NSBE, an officer in the chemistry fraternity, and working 2 jobs for a total of 40 hours/week working. Even though my gpa was a 2.8, it didn't mean that I was just sitting around doing nothing. I was very involved and plus I had to hustle to get the money to pay tuition (and my fees as well!)
I think that raising the gpa to 3.0 will make a lot of quality women who want to give to our sisterhood ineligible. We should be after quality women, but gpa isn't always an indication of that.

Sorhor I agree with you. I came in with a 2.8 and I'm a civil eng. major. Not excusing anything, but I didn't take regular freshmen classes, I'm taking Calc 1, 2, and 3, physics 1 and 2, and anything else that has to do with my major, while other freshmen are taking English, and Phy Ed. So you need to take in account of the type of classes they are taking. Cause I know my freshmen year I was alsways studying and didn't go anywhere. So to say that 2. whatever isn't good, you need to look at the big pic. and see the type of classes they are taking.
