At my school the minimum GPA to rush was 2.0. All the chapters had higher requirements, which actually WERE published in the annual recruitment booklet given to PNMs. Yet there were always women who rushed with below the chapter minimums (at my school, 4 chapters had a 2.25 minimum and one chapter had a 2.33 minimum)!
I think part of the reason our school refused to change it because there was a 2.0 minimum for guys' rush as well and having the women's move up to 2.25 (which would have been sensible) would have somehow been "unfair" or discriminatory. The fraternities, AFAIK, often pledged guys who had right at 2.0 and often "underground pledged" guys with below that and then just listed them with the school and nationals as pledges from informal recruitment the following term.
