I agree that while GPA is important, its not everything. Though as a person who does take grades seriously, if not extremely seriously at times, I believe in having a good time as I make sure to and I also agree other factors should be looked at as well.
In my view, though I could be wrong, I believe that a 2.2 or 2.5 minimum requirements- it could be better then that. Knowing the climate of the job market, grad schools, MBA and law schools, my experience has found out to be that hardly many employers will look at people with below a 3.0, considering thats the minimum to have a chance in the job market unless possibly engineering. In fact i know some chapters I have heard where they require a 3.0 or above to pledge and stay in the house. Looking at that, I personally believe thats not bad and more realistic then like I said, a 3.5 GPA requirement where not everyone could acheive that.
What do you personally think of a 3.0 GPA requirement to pledge/initiate? Even though I really disagree, a 3.5 to be considered for pledging and initiation?

In GA, students must get a "B" average (3.0) in order to renew their Hope Scholarship (lottery money covers tuition, books, fees, not housing). As a result, everyone gets an A or B in every class if one shows up regularly. Earp can tell you that during the Vietnam War, men lost their student deferment if they didn't keep a "C" average, and everyone got all A's, B's, and C's (with the possible exception of Earp). Academics call this Grade Inflation.
