If you did a good recruitment job then the % should have been higher. Or was it a pig in a poke rush?

Tommy Boy, there are countless other reasons to give a pledge the boot besides not paying your dues and not having a high GPA.

Hell, I really don't even really care about GPA. Usually the ones that can't make the minimum requirements are just held over. Some kids have a tough time with school their first semester of college, I didn't, but I can understand some that do. If they are just blowing shit off, I don't have much sympathy, but if they show that they actually made an honest effort to do well.......I'm not one to ruin their year because of it.

First off, I am not your Tommy Boy!

And, I do agree with you on your previous statement! If they cannot abide by what is needed of them or they just piss it off, then they should be gone.

But for some to say that they expect to get rid of people gauls me.

If they are not good enough to work with and try to make it, do not recruit them except just to show numbers!

Well, not just to show numbers.... $$$$

Tom, there is no way of knowing how a kid will turn out simply through rush. It isn't hard to put on a good show for us. I've seen it countless times. Kid comes through rush and we think he is the greatness. Turns out he's a complete tool.

I don't care anything about numbers. Most really good houses don't care either.......they get what they comfortably need every year and it works great.

This is one of the most serious and important posts you have made and you are 100% correct.

We as GLOs can only hope for the very best in recruitment.

Some will make it and others not make it!
