I don't think the school would let them get away with that, nor do I think they should - it's discriminatory. True, your membership selection process should take into account whether someone's in extracurriculars but I don't think you should lower the minimum GPA for them. It kind of flies in the face of everything we say about Greek membership teaching time management. "I only have a 1.5, but it's OK because I'm in 10 clubs!" You shouldn't encourage people to do one thing less well just because they are doing other things.
Especially if you are looking at HS extracurriculars - some of them are just total BS things that meet maybe once a year and take no time but look good on a transcript.
