Disability law doesn't require that you have no standards for people with disabilities just that you make reasonable modification for them. If the students were receiving modifications in their classes, why would they need to be held to a lower academic standard in terms of GPA?
EXACTLY! Also, organizations other than honorary societies base decisions on achievement. Have you ever tried to get a job that requires a degree without having a degree or just getting by with the minimum gpa? The school itself often mandates a gpa cutoff for organizations because they see these as ways to make sure that weak students aren't overloading themselves on extra-curriculars while failing out of school. There are no rights to glo membership. It is an honor to join a NPC organization with lots of responsibilities. We may not be honorary societies, but academic success is part of our missions, Dionysus!

I understand that. But as someone mentioned upthread...being in a sorority may actually help a student who was struggling. Don't sororities require study hours anyway? Mind did. Plus, it's not uncommon for students within the same chapter to have the same classes. They can help each other.
