UVa: You can pledge and still get A's?

"Movies tend to exaggerate hazing, but at the same time they make it look like you can pledge and still get A's," she said. "And that is just not true."

I would actually agree, especially at UVA.

I think the grade inflation may help.

well, i had a 3.8 my pledge year of SAE, so I don't know what that aricle is talking about. Most good chapters will make you study as a pledge so that everyone can make their chapters grade requirements.

well, I had a 4.0 when I pledged. My pledge class combined GPA was something like 3.7. Our Most recent was about 3.8. It can happen.

That's as untrue as any other greek-related stereotypes.

I like how the person who made the comment about not being able to pledge and get A's is not a Greek and therefore has never pledged. Funny, I didn't know you could give valid opinions on something you never experienced.

Oh, you can have opinions about stuff you don't know anything about...but that doesn't mean they're accurate. 
For the record, I got a 4.0 during my pledge semester.

When I was an assistant chapter advisor years ago, we had a brother who held a number of pledge and active offices and managed a 4.0.
He is serving his residency now.
He reminded me a lot of the president of my pledge class who is now head of surgery at a major "big city" hospital.
It's not impossible.
Not easy, either.

I think that if you can just go to all of your classes you can atleast make C's and B's
