I think the edit button is only good for a few hours.

Delta Gamma - know at one time my chapter would take them from collegians NOT from their chapter. But that wasn't a Fraternity-wide policy.

A while back we did a limited study on women with 4.0 GPAs out of high school comparing with women with Median ACT scores at that institution. Some of the women who had very good GPA in high school, but modest to lower ACT scores were found to be the ones who struggled staring in college.

We found some correlation that this was more likely to happen to women from private schools but it was not statistically conclusive.

Our conclusions had to do with that women who had taken the time to prepare and study for entrance exams were more likely to be prepared or have study skills needed to make the transition to college. The best way to deal with this was to give everyone study skills information and time management recommendations at the beginning of the school year.

A very good explanation for this is grade inflation, including situations where teachers are forced to inflate grades. It has happened to almost every long-time teacher I know.

Add Sigma Sigma Sigma to the list of sororities accepting recs from any living soul.
