For me, I had a higher GPA as an undergraduate during and after pledging. The work I was asked to do as a pledge allowed me to understand the work I was asked to do in furthering my education. When I worked on my Ph.D. in molecular genetics, it felt painfully like many years of outright pledging, I guess that never giving up mentality I have kept me going until I earned it. I don't think I could have done it later in life. Because I am 40, myself, and I am at that stage where I think, I have learned as much as I want, now I want money... So, ironically, there are no jobs in my current residence that are available; and now I have "jumped ship"--no more organized research... I am kewl with that.

Anyhow, I my GPA's for my Masters and Ph.D. course work was superior. So, IDK if it had to do with my organization or not. But, they were my "rock" when I needed them the most.

Thank you for the kind words, and your thoughts. Molecular genetics...wow, that sounds difficult. Congrats on your achievements.
