Zeta Tau Alpha at Tulane

That is why there was so much disappointment over the failure of Zeta to colonize. It impacts the entire Tulane community not just the disappointed PNMs.

A minimum GPA isn't against NPC rules. I also highly doubt a GPA minimum is related to growth but to improving academics. Please give supporting documentation for these types of claims. Rumors can start easily and need to be substantiated before being passed on GC.

Here is the supporting documentation:

From NPC MOI (2013), Unanimous agreement II, section C, item iiii:

A College Panhellenic Council shall take no action that infringes on the sovereignty, rights or privileges of the individual NPC fraternities. Infringements include the following:
iii. Requiring a scholastic grade point average as a condition for a woman’s participation in the membership recruitment process.

CPC may not, but a university can require their students to maintain a certain GPA to participate in any activity they deem proper. There are fine lines used by universities to mandate GPA requirements. The NPC does not have the standing to question them. The CPC and the university are two different entities. The CPC is a group of NPC chapters.

Exactly my point. The university and CPC are different entities. The university can have requirements that do not follow NPC rules.

The university, however, would have no way of limiting chapter numbers. Please give documentation of this. As previously stated, rumors are rampant but rarely useful. All women that go through recruitment are placed. There is no way to limit growth of chapter size, and honestly, I doubt Tulane's administration really gives a flying flip if your chapters have 300 members or not.
