I had a problem and the doctors could not figure out what was wrong with me. In college my grades were some times good, but sometimes bad. I could not figure out why. My GPA was barley a 2.3 for most of my college education. It was not until after I graduated from college that someone figured out that I have a pre-diabetic condition. Now that I am being treated for that this condition School is soo much easier and what use to take me hours to do I can do in about 30 minutes.
So please don't assume that just because someones grades are lower that they are lazy. Obviously their are exceptions, but there are actually reasons that some people have a hard time in school and therefor low GPA.

I agree...having bad grades doesn't mean you're lazy or dumb. But...it does mean that you will likely have difficulties achieving good grades in college where your grades actually may mean something down the line (and you admitted that you did have difficulties.) The main point espoused in this thread is that students with low GPAs (2.5 and below...might I add that even though you said you took guaranteed A classes, you had a 3.3 in HS much higher than the mentioned cutoff.) should concentrate on their grades not a social organization. One of the main goals of NPC orgs is to encourage academic excellence. We wouldn't be doing that if we accepted women who needed the extra time that they would be using to attend sorority functions in order to keep passing grades. Greek life really isn't for everyone.
