Would you support raising the minimum GPA for freshman PNMs?

That’s high school GPA.

Still, a 3.8 on a 4.0 scale? That still would knock out a majority of potential pledges at almost any school (maybe not Yale or MIT)

With AP classes being weighted differently, many incoming students have higher than a 4.0.

She also said that’s for every Greek org on campus, not just NPC sororities.

Agreed and that really messes things up. Within my local area, there are school systems where a B in AP Calculus counts as 4.0, others where it counts as a 3.75 and some where it counts as a 3.0 (And then there are IB programs). Sometimes I wonder if the colleges should recalculated it for consistency.

OK, I wonder what GLOs have the 3.8 then. None of the honoraries are likely to pay attention to HS GPA's at all...
