We have a recommended GPA set by us here at Alabama. We are a busy group with a full calendar and we need to feel confident you will make grades for initiation. We have a national GPA requirement that is a few tenths lower. That is our hard cut off. Even if you’re a triple legacy, you’re not getting past sisterhood if you are below that hard cut off. You will be let go before prefs. But, if you’re a legacy or someone knows you and vouches for you ( you or your family had a hardship that contributed to your meh grades) and you fall below our recommended GPA but you still meet the national cut off, we can keep you around to see if everything else about you says “sister”. If you have a decent GPA ( with your 3.5, you’re fine for most houses), the next step is how you present yourself and how connected we feel about you. A rec helps us know more about you before we meet you. There are girls that we already know we want to have on our top bid list because of great recs and connections. But, if I fall in love with you as PNM with no rec, I’m going to pass you around as quick as I can to my girlies so they can see what I see and move you to the next round. We will beg one of our alum helpers to whip up a rec if we want you. The thing about getting recs before coming to UA is it just helps us help you. We only have so many recs we can get on the fly so we gotta LOVE you to get those. If you can get recs in, even if they’re late, do it. A late rec is still better than no rec.
