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.

Some chapters do have a GPA requirement either for the national organization or the chapter. Panhellenic might have said it was ok - that it was a single college course - but not every group would have their headquarters say it was ok to initiate her. Typical (in my neck of the woods) new member periods are maybe 8 weeks now, not the whole semester, in some cases it is as short as 2 weeks. In a competitive recruitment, it may be a risk to take a girl that you aren't sure about her grades.
