Because we just changed our GPA standard from a 2.5 to a 2.6 and I want to know if that is too low.

It's up to the members in your org. Do you want to attract people with higher GPAs? If so, make sure you have programs in place to help people maintain/better their grades, such as study buddies, library hours, grade-check-ins (is that a word?), etc.

When I pledged, we had pledge class library hours (at the same time), as well as additional required library hours (we signed in at the circulation desk). For those with a GPA below a 3.0, you had a "study buddy", usually an upperclassman who was in your major.

You might want to get a hold of the all-campus GPA, the all-Greek GPA, and the individual chapter's actual/minimums. Again, you should contact other chapters of LXA for advice. If you can't make a decision, use an aggregate of what others use, poll your members, or follow what other LXA chapters do.

Really, WE cannot help you decide on a number.

I just wanted to know YOUR SCHOOLS GPA standards, NOT your chapter, NOT your internationals. I justed wanted to know YOUR SCHOOLS STANDARDS. I know what LXA STANDARDS ARE. The one thing that makes this site useless are people like knight shadow and they decide to leave comments on how something is worded, those are waste of comments, not to mention i have to scroll through those comments to get to meaningful comments. So please stop being a pompous waste of space.

It has nothing to do with being pompous you jaggy mc jaggerson jagoff o'jag. Your question was like someone walking into a town and asking what food they have. If anyone is a waste of space it's you. Go back to elementary school and learn proper spelling and grammar.

OP, consider this. Had you been more specific in your request for info, explained why you wanted to know this, and used proper grammar and spelling, people would have been more willing and able to help. The old computer adage applies: garbage in, garbage out.

Why does it matter what others schools' standards are? It's been three days and I still don't understand your intent. If you tell people WHAT YOU WANT and WHY, they will more likely help you (or try).

Tom didn't leave. He got banned, multiple times.

Actually, despite being banned too many time to count, Tom keeps trying to come back here again and again and again.

Yeah, we don't know why either.

Good try, though.
