it's an effort to raise the overall Greek cumulative GPA. Greek organizations were bidding freshmen with histories of poor academic performance, and once in school the poor performance continued and therefore reducing the overall GPA. The 2.5 rule for fraternities and sororities is set as a benchmark to determine preliminary expectations of the PNM and if they can handle academics and Greek Life. And although it is not too common for a girl to go through recruitment after their first fall semester, that option is in place for them to obtain a 2.5 at the college level in order to meet the qualification. New standards for the Greek system are being implemented this fall with scholarship being a main component. All chapters will eventually have to maintain a 2.6 cumulative average. The 2.5 requirement for recruitment will aid these chapters in obtaining that standard.
