Arizona strongly discourages PNMs from going through if their GPA doesn't meet the chapters' published minimums. In other words, PNMs are told point-blank by Greek Life Office that the probability of being released is extremely high. That said, there are plenty of special snowflakes who insist on going through and are released after Open House.

That's good that Arizona does that. If special snowflake wants to go through with a crappy GPA even though they have been told that they will be released, well let them.

I think more schools should be open and upfront with the PNM's. I really think it could diminish a lot of the anguish that the PNM's go through later.

Thankfully the advice I have given to two PNM's whose GPA is a bit low for recruitment has been taken and they thanked me for it. None of us go around saying things to hurt a PNM but they should be told the truth.
