Beta Theta Pi was the first fraternity to require a 2.5 chapter GPA for a chapter to remain in good standing with the General Fraternity (1984).
Beta was also the first to require a 2.5 GPA for an individual to be a member in good standing (1997).
My chapter requires a 2.6 GPA to initiate and remain in good standing. That's a little bit lower than a B- average here in Nebraska, as we have a +/- grading system.
On our campus, Farmhouse requires a 2.7 to initiate.
I think that fraternities and sororities should require minimum GPA's average student. Believe me it's a great recruiting point when you can tell a kid that joining the Greek Community is going to improve their GPA...at Nebraska there is almost a .2 of a point difference between greek and non greek GPA. (with Greeks being higher of course).
