You know, it kills me to see how people change to this "elitist" mindset after they get on. Let's just rewind to freshman year when wearing the hottest clothes and dating the finest man/woman on campus were your goals. Thoughts of that kind made it a little harder to maintain a 2.5 or better.

I say that to say this, speaking from personal experience, some of the greatest Alphas I've ever had the honor of calling my brother became that way because of the company they kept. Once they crossed, they sought out the brothers that were positive, campus leaders, excelled in business and in their personal lives; thus molding them into the men they are today. To further separate our "lost" youth from our positive black men is a thought that I cannot comprehend. If we put the power back in the hands of the chapters with leadership and guidance coming from the advisors as opposed to the discipline and control they weild over the young brothers presently, the burden to properly choose, groom, and teach young brothers will be, and rightfully so, restored to the chapter brothers.

I'm not gonna front like I had the bomb GPA when I went on line (yeah I said it, ON LINE). And, I'm not gonna tell you that it improved during my process, nor will I say that pledging (and I said PLEDGING too) helped me to increase my GPA thereafter (although it did improve slightly). But pledging did make me realize what is most important above all individual achievements and personal triumphs, and that is the love that only a TRUE BROTHER can show to another.

AND IF YALL DON'T FEEL ME, THEN FINE! (Hell, I only expect a handful of you to understand it anyway.)

Good Point Frat! I would think though that Major and GPA work hand and hand a 2.5 in engineering is a lot harder to attain then a 2.5 in basket weaving(no offense to the basket weavers)!
