grades and recruitment

[DeltaBetaBaby]

We've talked about this here before. The bottom line is that the schools can't decide for the sororities who they will/won't take, and the school doesn't know every sorority's MS procedures, so it would be nice if they strongly discouraged PNM's from rushing with low GPA's, but they just don't do it.

It just seems cruel to lead a PNM on. To let her think that her 2.5 is "good enough". Yes, some girls will understand that it isn't, but there are a lot of "special snowflakes" out there who won't get it.

I just feel that if, lets say ABC chapter will only accept new members with a 2.8 or higher, and they are the lowest when it comes to new member GPA, that the university should say that PNM's must have a 2.8 to go through recruitment. Then there is a chance for that PNM to possibly get a bid. Does that make sense.

Or they just need to be honest with the girls in advance and tell them straight out that low GPA's will probably get them cut. I think they should be spared the tremendous heartache that comes later.
