Or it could mean that they took a bunch of pledges with very difficult class schedules...or that their pkedges are just, well, dumb. Also the NPC groups are always going to look the best on grades just because they have the largest pledge classes.

As the saying goes, lies, damned lies, and statistics. These things are pointless.

Over the years I've noticed it's often the smaller campus chapters of my sorority holding high campus GPAs, and those chapters usually fold because pnms somehow think "Who wants to join the smarty-pants house? They probably never party!"

This.

"Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital."

In the long run, these will do nothing positive for struggling or middle-of-the-road chapters. Throwing out statistics like these could negatively affect recruitment and retention numbers.

And I'm not sure what any of this information (aside from the mention of chapter violations/suspensions) has to do with the risk management issues that spawned these score cards.
