Chapters do take "grade risks" (though sometimes very very few) -- but how many, what is considered a "grade risk," and under what circumstances may vary greatly among chapters.

The chapter GPAs are often listed by the Greek Affairs/Greek Life office. One can see which chapters cluster toward the top of chapter GPAs -- and these are often the chapters where a PNM with a low GPA is more likely to be released (of course, nothing is always true without exception -- just speaking in general terms here).

My complaint is calling out specific chapters. Anyone who is at all is familiar with Ole Miss recruitment will know grades are a huge factor. However, calling out specific chapters is crap even if they have the higher GPAs. For all we know the ones with lower GPAs may be all science majors while the others have lighter class load majors/majors that don't kill you in the same way. We can guess the reason women are dropped is due to grades, but there is no way to know why SPECIFIC CHAPTERS drop women other than making assumptions.
