the top houses (kappa, zeta, pi phi, chi o) cut at 3.4 or below- no exceptions. other houses vary- usually around 3.3 for tri delt. all the other houses take some grade risks (3.2 or below). this doesn't mean they don't get great girls with 4.0s...it just means they aren't as strict with the gpa cut off.

actually the 3.4 cut off with no exceptions is just for zeta. sorry for the confusion. other houses will take girls with lower grades

So just to be clear they keep girls with 3.5 or higher?

even girls with 4.0s were cut from chi o, kappa, pi phi, etc. first round

you're not 100% safe with any gpa.

just want to say that "the truth" is bs'ing you. I had a 3.33 on the dot going into rush and made it past chi o, kkg, and pi phi's initial cut. kkg is knownnn for having the best grades and i commend them for their hard work, but they for sure rushed a girl with a 2.9 (not hating, and know the girl for sure had the 2.9.... its not gossip and it doesn't make kappa look bad, the girl just had something going for her that kkg liked).

moral of the story is that if you have great convos and have something going for you that catches their attention, you CAN get past grade cuts. its very difficult to stand out but i believe in you!!

That 2.9 girl had close connections in the KKG house...wasn’t just some random PNM who had great conversations.

She has a best friend in the house that she lived with last year and has been best friends with since like 5th grade. KKG decided they wanted her before recruitment even started.

Let’s not give PNMs false hope that if they have lower grades, that in their 15 minutes on day one they can have the type of conversation that can get them on to the next round.

Thanks for the info. I have 3.5 and I can’t see it changing that much before rush next year. I am just a ltitle nervous because I am OOS. I am a legacy to one of the so called top houses and my mom is still very active but not sure if that chapter will be for me or me for them. I do have several recs for each one so I am hoping I won’t be an automatic cut for not having any real connections to current chapter members.

It’s sad to me that GPA is such a make it or break it!!!! There are so many girls that have a 3.0 or above. Grade don’t come easy to everyone. I know that the top houses lost out to some amazing girls just because of their GPA. Grades should never define a girl. NOT EVER!!!!! What should- their character, Service to their community, etc but certainly not grades.
