low gpa

by: sad

As a first semester freshman, I didn't do so well, earning a GPA lower than 2.0. But, I know that the spring semester will be totally different because I'm more adjusted to BU / college / etc.
Will sororities still accept me despite my low GPA? And which sororities are lenient with the GPA requirement?

Unfortunately, GPA is a major consideration when deciding on PNMs. You definitely will have many sororities cut you for your GPA alone, and therefore your recruitment experience will be tainted. If I were you, I would work really hard to increase your GPA and go through recruitment as a sophomore. No sororities will cut you for being a sophomore and you are much more likely to find the right home!

Does it matter if my high school GPA was high? Because when I was signing up for recruitment, it said that my high school GPA will also be put into consideration. I know I didn't do well my first semester, but will they at least consider my high school GPA? Thank you so much!

Everything you write down in the form is taken into consideration! If you have already registered for recruitment, definitely go through it and see what happens. Just know that if it doesn't work out this year, you can always do it again next year!

I know this is hard but you will have a much better experience going through recruitment as a sophomore. Once your grades go up, you will have one less thing to worry about when going through recruitment. Trust me! It's worth waiting.

you can still go through recruitment but keep in mind that many chapter's national organization won't allow them to take a grade risk, especially one as extreme as you are describing, unless the chapter REALLY REALLY goes to bat for you. I would say that its still worth a shot, but that keep in mind that you can always try again next spring once your grades have come up

You can still go through recruitment, but expect to be dropped by many houses after the first day because GPA is a major factor.

GPA is a huge factor but don't let it discourage you!! You can always go through this year and see what happens and then try again next year when your grades are up if you were limited
