I'm Pledging!

 

Studies show that the average student's GPA drops one whole grade point in the seemster the student pledges a fraternity or sorority.  This means, that if you have a 3.2 in the semester before you pledge, you'll have a 2.2 at the end of the semester you pledged.  TALK to folks who have pledged and ask what their GPA's were before and after the semester they pledged.  Don't just ask one - ask 8 or 10 from a variety of different fraternities and sororities.  If you are in a controlled major or are a scholarship recipient who depends upon grades for money or major - consider this carefully.
