THat's interferring in a chapter's autonomy. No it won't work unless you make the minimum a 2.0 - which should be the min to get in school to begin with.

A group can pledge a woman without any interaction from Panhellenic - i.e. through COB. If they want someone
that much, and know there's a reason for her crap grades, then they can hold a spot open for her and pledge her after formal rush. That also is "chapter autonomy."
I've never heard of a Panhellenic setting a minimum too high. Obviously the Panhellenic would vote on such a thing, and each group has a vote, so a representative can always vote against the proposed GPA - for whatever reason you choose. Too high, too low, don't like the way the numbers look. It's no one's business (except your nationals) why you vote the way you do. The vote to pass this policy should be unanimous. I don't see what's wrong with putting that in the Green Book, rather than allowing women to waste their money and time and seemingly condoning it.
This is not setting a minimum to JOIN, this is setting a minimum to PARTICIPATE IN FORMAL RUSH.
