This! And forget just the application fee.. There are house round casual clothes and preference dresses to be bought!
At many schools, there would be no harm in going through recruitment with a low GPA. At others, however, I'm sure there are girls who are spending hundreds of dollars for just a chance to be in a chapter. If you give PNMs no warning, that's a very quick way to potentially build a list of girls who resent sororities and everything they're about.

Exactly. I didn't know what a rec was until I came to GC a few years after I graduated. If my chapter received one, I'm pretty sure we wouldn't have known what it was, or what the hell to do with it.
