sorority rush
by: NolesIf you have a not so good GPA and want to rush is that going to affect you getting a bid? I had a lot of family and personal problems that can be explained as to why my grades had a sudden drop, and some of those courses were forgiven by FSU because I got proper documentation. Do sororities look past the lower GPA for an extenuating circumstance like that? I just want to get back on track now that my personal problems are resolved and think rushing is a step in the right direction to keep me on track and focused. Thank you for the help!

It's a 2.65 GPA. and please don't give me your negativity. If I'm in a sorority I will have forced study hours and need to have a higher GPA to keep up with my sorority requirements. Plus I'll have sisters that will be able to help me with tutoring or other resources that I don't really have now, so I only see the positives in bettering myself

most sororities have a cut off GPA for recruitment that's about 2.5 but GPA is something most houses consider first when inviting girls back each round.

I'm in a sorority right now and although we always look for great grades, there are always exceptions for students who want to better themselves and that's great! We look for girls who can work their way out of tough problems that life as to offer. Although it doesnt seem like your fault to whatever your family problem was, it's great to see you want to turn yourself around! If you explain your situation to sororities I'm sure most of them could be understanding, especially now since you are ready to get back on track! :)

A 2.65 is pretty low, especially if you're a freshman. Having something else to bring (like sports, involvement, etc.) might help, but a lot of girls are put on academic probation because of grades so you might want to get your grades in check before joining a sorority. You don't want to be part of the reason for bringing your sorority's GPA down, but maybe you can bring something else to the table. While sororities are meant to bring you up, you should also be able to contribute

I totally agree it's a low GPA for a freshman, and I have plenty of qualities to contribute to the sorority as well. I had a 4.2 GPA in high school and participated in tons of extra curriculars and had work experience. I played 4 different sports, two of which receiving MVP season rewards. Honestly it was just my freshmen year that something happened with my family and I had to leave Tallahassee often. Grades were not my first priority because of my family problem, which I'm willing to explain to sororities. I guess it could go either way, but I would still like to try to rush this fall. I don't really want something that was totally out of my control to dictate how an entire year goes

If you're actually as committed as you say you are to make a change for the better, that is definitely a quality all sororities look for. Please consider rushing this fall you have nothing to lose

Even though it is pretty low, I say you should still rush (if you are committed like you say). Don't give empty promises and make sure that you don't sound like you feel sorry for yourself if you do mention this to sororities. Just make sure to talk about your assets as opposed to your difficulties. Most sororities are looking for what you can bring to the sorority that's different than everyone else. Rush, but stay committed to bringing your grades up because you could be a liability and you don't want that. keep your head up, I know you can do it :)
