gpa requirements
by: PNM
Hi,
I'm a PNM, and at orientation, we got a pamphlet that had information on the different sororities. I noticed the GPA requirements and realized that my GPA isn't high enough for most of the sororities. It used to be a lot higher, but it fell because of extenuating circumstances last semester. Is there any way that the sororities with the higher GPA requirements will still consider me? I've been to a lot of events, and the sororities I seemed to click with the most have some of the highest requirements.

Not meeting the GPA requirement is the number 1 reason women get cut from a house during the first round. We have limited number of spots and since academics are incredibly important to us that's the biggest factor when making cuts. You can still get a bid, you just may be cut from many houses the first day. Don't be alarmed or upset. It happens. But if your GPA is close your personality can override it. So just be yourself and do your best. Don't talk about your GPA, they already know. But mention that you're working hard to improve it because academics are important. Tell them you value academics and it's a big reason you decided to go Greek, you wanted a group of women who can encourage you

Maybe, it doesn't hurt to mention it. Just don't dwell on it. Never say "I know my GPA doesn't meet your requirements but..." Just say what happened that made your GPA tank and then follow up with how you're working hard to improve because academics are important. Really milk it. It's the same as a job interview, if you're talking about a weakness you have to spin it to make it look like an opportunity for improvement. Just remember that at the end of the day these women are human beings with feelings discussing how they feel about you. Your story matters. You want them to understand that you aren't just lazy or stupid, but you do not want your GPA story to be the only thing they remember about you. That part is important.
