Professional and honorary GLOs would be off the hook, since their main focus is academic achievement. There are probably exceptions.
But social and service GLOs are the ones who should be careful how they handle certain students, because they are mainly non-academic orgs turning down students for academic reasons. Learning disorders, ADD, Asperger's or whatever are defined as disabilities. Depending on the school, students with disabilites can have a variety of accomodations, including GPA or grade exceptions. Most GLOs have anti-discrimination policies. Disibilities can be included, it depends on the organization (which I believe is the majority). If a GLO denies a disabled student's rights (granted by the disability office), that could get them in trouble. They won't get thrown in jail of course, but it could get them a civil suit.
Again it really depends...the specific disability, how the school accomodates them, if the student even notified his/her school about the disability, specific school and student org policies, greek life policies, GLO policies, and
how the student is treated.
