I am thinking of eligibility to receive a bid, not initiating - which comes at the end of the new member period. Are we talking of two different things? Because I'm still not following your reasoning. I stand by my explanation that for the vast majority of chapters, there is no GPA requirement to initiate. To pledge, yes, but not to initiate.

In the scenario presented up thread, in which taking a single college level course at a community college yielded a 2.0 GPA, the pnm wouldn't even be eligible to go through recruitment at my university. That is, if the GPA was counted, and not the units.
