I TOTALLY hear you. You are obviously the excpetion to the rule, and probably don't need someone to watch over your shoulder. I graduated with a 3.67 and might otherwise probably scoff at being required to show up to prove that I study.
And there are no absolutes - I just think that even those who have great GPAs can find something they can accomplish in two hours of quiet time.
But think about this -
- Other students see Greeks actually studying in the library - GREAT PR
- Members with higher grades can exemptions by tutoring/helping other members
- Helping sisters/brothers bring their grades up provides many benefits for your GLO - you are raising the bar academically and thus might attract more people with a strong academic background, as well as qualify for "best GPA" on campus, win awards for "most improved" within your Inter/national org, etc.
- YOU are proof that you can be in a GLO and be smart. Maybe others (not just other members) can learn by your example.
Anyway, those are my thoughts. There are obviously exceptions, and no system is perfect. Kudos to your academic performance, and thank you for a respectful disagreement.
