They should know that going in so they can make educated decisions about the chapters and not get their hopes up unrealistically. I think having that info privileged because it's "part of MS" is, frankly, BS.
Now I can imagine another scenario: a chapter has a minimum GPA of 3.0. They've already made all their cuts after first round and still have more women than release figures allow them to invite back, so they go through and cut those with the lowest GPAs until they reduce the list to its appropriate size. Say they weren't able to stop until they hit 3.15, making that their effective chapter minimum. That number, I agree, would be part of MS. If that's what was being talked about here, then I'm cool. But for a chapter to say, "We have a minimum GPA and its confidential, sorry," is really crappy.

I understand what you are saying, but if it is part of membership selection -- as I have heard it is for some sororities, its up to the individual sorority to make that decision whether or not to advise the PNMs. Bottom line that membership selection is confidential, some people will say that thats crappy too.
Like I said before, I think I know where the OP goes to school and the GPAs for almost all the sororities are all over a 3.0. Obviously, some must be lower than a 3.0 to get that average, but when you have a large percentage of PNMs with high GPAs, unfortunately, the girls with lower ones could be very well on the bubble of being cut. Plus I am just putting it out there, but girls with lower GPAs could be scrutenized more carefully at more competitive campus'. You can have a girl with a 2.75, the minimum to rush, but she also holds an student government position, is involved with the student newspaper and plays a sport. Whereas, you can have a girl with a 2.75 who isn't involved in anything.
I would think most of us would agree that grade cuts usually come early on. The OP in this situation was cross-cut on bid day.
