But on the flip side...
Every year, we have a much larger number of girls sign up for Recruitment than actually go through--because grades come out and they are no longer eligible. I've always thought of it from the standpoint that if we had Fall Recruitment, we could work with these girls to get their grades up and have them in our scholarship programs from the beginning. Plus, quota would be higher and we could raise total back to where it was a few years ago. Now I acknowledge how wonderful it is that every girl who pledges is academically eligible to be initiated. Although we stress scholarship (after all, my girls better keep their #1 status on campus!!!), it's not a constant worry like it would be if they were in their first semester. I would hate to have to come to a new member and tell her she wasn't eligible for initiation with her class due to her first semester grades.

It is a luxory that you have am I right? Well for the moment? One never knows from Semester to another.

So, then maybe my question would be, they have great GPA, but what else can they do?

Are they totally well rounded?

Without speaking about M.S., I can say, yes, my girls are well rounded. Every girl at the college is well-rounded--they are so involved I don't know how they have time to get the grades they do!!

Grades are not the only factor we have, and I sincerely doubt any organization works that way. I certainly wouldn't have gotten in myself if that was all it was based upon!

Not sure what the M S reference is to,

but I congratulate on what your chapter is like and should be admired!

Keeping the standards up is never easy and it seems that they are doing a fantastic job! That is outstanding!

Knowing what I have been through and seeing others, it is not easy!

I like how the University of Memphis Panhellenic site gives the information for each chapter and the GPA they want.

I'm confused by something, do chapters look at test scores during recruitment? Because this was mentioned earlier and i have never heard of this.
