involvement in high school

Participation in recruitment as a pnm should be a one-time thing here. Might you be willing to forego a freshman recruitment and wait until sophomore year, after you have made campus friends, joined and participated in another type of campus group and swung thru the educational window we offer? Your gpa and social life may thank you.

My suitemate pledged one of the houses you mentioned and she had a 3.1 high school GPA. She finished her first college semester with less than a 2.5 because she is a party angel, wink wink.

If they want you, they will make an exception.

A GPA is a red flag towards your character? One might think an arrest would be more of a red flag. A GPA of 3.4 does not define character and it's this type of thinking that gives Greek life a bad name. I don't know how someone making that statement has the nerve to question anyone's intelligence or character.

1600 plus girls went thru rush last year. Something like 95% of them pledged. They were not all superstars with the highest GPA and 3 pages resumes of activities and service projects. Be yourself, go through rush, have an open mind. You will find your people.

You are over-thinking this. Go through rush. You could have never made a B in your life and still not get into the group you want. Or, you could have a 3.0 and get into the place you really want. Sometimes there is just no explanation for how things end up, but with a positive outlook it can be the best experience.

You will be fine if you give all the groups the same chance you want them to give you. GPA is not a reflection of your character - what a ridiculous comment.
