We ran into that situation all the time when I was an active. We had deferred rush, so women already had a semester's worth of grades in. My alma mater only required a 2.0 - that's a C average, folks - to participate in any extracurriculars, so that's what the minimum for rush was. Needless to say, we had lots of heartbroken PNMs after the first night of rush every year I was there.

I was going to say, I think the reason this happens is because the school says it has to. The school has no control over national/local GPA requirements for sororities.
