As for my house

I was on the recruitment standards committee last year at my house and this is what we look for and in this order. We assign points on an exact scale. 1. ACT score. A 32 or above puts the rushee in the top tier (5), 29-31 middle tier (3) and 27-29 lower tier (10). We consider girls who get below a 27 but they must excel in other areas. 2. AP classes (with higher points for math, science and statistics AP classes and lower points for English, psychology, foreign language and history AP classes, since those are the most common). If rushee specifies scores on AP tests, a 5 carries the most weight regardless of class. For example, a 5 on a French AP exam is the same as a 4 or 5 on a Calc BC or Physics AP exam. 3. GPA. We look at weighted and unweighted, and generally want to see almost all A's from most high schools, private or public. GPAs generally are higher at private schools, so we factor that in. There are some outstanding public school districts (Parkway in STL, Mission Hills and Leawood in K.C., Winetka, Kenilworth, Glencoe in Chicago) where grades usually are not inflated, so a stellar GPA at these schools guarantees a 5. I am offering these examples just to show that we are very responsible about how we do our grade cuts and grade rankings and so that people know it is quantifiable, not random. It's not easy to get into the top houses at Missouri, but that's part of why our sorority system is the envy of so many other schools. We also rank activities and honors.
