Son at USC almost went greek. He hung around a house and thought about pledging for a semester or so. Worst semester so far for his grades.

He decided not too join and got involved in a robotics club and another professional group and his grades climbed right back up.

I was very glad he did not join a Frat, being a GDI myself.

Just one experience but the same thing happened to a few of my friends in college. I was invited to a frat my freshman year and declined. I later learned it was because of my HS GPA. This frat was in trouble for their overall house grade point and needed some help in the averaging department.
