grades and recruitment

On the other hand, Clemson for example says on their registration page in highlighter yellow that any PNM with under a 2.7 will be immediately released from recruitment, so my logic fails a little there.

Are they still allowed to go through one round? I can still see women signing up for recruitment, being released after the first round due to GPA, and then going for COB when their GPA is higher. The sisters would remember them from before, which they may view as a positive.

On another note, do many sororities have have GPA limit not just re: membership selection, for sisters as well? Groups at some schools do advertise to PNMs that they have a minimum GPA to follow as a new member and a member--but this may not be common.

I guess it would be best to address why many schools don't stress the importance of grades during recruitment--especially considering that if a PNM does join, it will only add more stress and time management issues to keep up!
