I guess I'm willing to throw her a bone because the sorority system is so confusing to outsiders. And the acronyms don't help. Seriously, would you know that NPC and NPHC (when they stand for the same thing) are in fact not the same? And saying "4 out of 5" invites the follow-up question. Yes, I understand why we who understand the system think that's funny, but again, as an outsider, she possibly thinks the acceptance policies, standards, etc. are fixed when we all know they are extremely fluid. All we can say is there are minimum standards, of which grades are one, but there is no fixed list of standards that gets someone in or out, and a stupid arrest would fall into a grey area that may completely offend one sorority and not even be a blip to another.
I'm just saying give her a break. Ignorance is something we go to college to overcome.
