gpa requirement

im in a frat but i think some sororities probably make it seem like a bigger deal than it is. if a sorority likes you, i doubt they would deny you simply because your GPA is currently a bit lower than the minimum "requirement"

Depends on the sorority..... apply anyways you might still get a bid but after joining you might be put on probation or something of that sort, so you can bring your gpa up.

It really does depend on the sorority. I know for my personal sorority, our headquarters regulates the minimum GPA a pnm must have in order to even be considered for membership. We could adore a girl, but unless they meet our academic standards, she won't be considered.

Story of my life! And im in a sorority. Try it, im sure i would never not give a bid to a girl for grades, theres prob a lot of girls who agree with me!

With that being said, you have to be prepared to pull up your socks if you get a bid. Otherwise, with sororities, you'd most likely be on perpetual probation and wouldn't get to enjoy portions of what you're paying for. Greek organizations are big on academic standards, even with the parties and whatnot.

Still apply, however some sororities do ask about academics in recruitment. To be honest though once you join almost everyone's grades improve because you have so many people to study with and you will want to live up to the gpa set.

Hey love, just a few things to help you make the decision on going through with Formal Recruitment or not.

1) When you register online, you'll need to fill out a form with general questions (hobbies, faculty, year, legacy or not, etc...) Every sorority is given this info BEFORE they even meet you, so they already know your academic standing and will not ask when they meet you at Tours (the first "round").

2) All sororities are different, some may not offer you a bid, some may, but put you on probation (no social events) until your grades rise.

3) My sorority's academic expectations are the same as UBC's (minimum 55% avg)

4) Going through Formal Recruitment is great for the experience and if you don't get a bid this year you should try it out anyways to see where you stand, and which sororities you would fit into.

Good luck!
