question to sororities at u of a.

by:    

I’m going to be a freshman this fall at U of A. I have a really tight group of girl friends here in my hometown in Ohio but we’re all dispersing off to different colleges. I really want to get involved at U of A and specifically join a sorority! I’m super open to any sororities, from what I’ve seen all the sororities at U of A are amazing.

But I have a 2.7 gpa and online it says 3.0 required for highschool! So Am i still allowed to rush? and If I do will I just get dropped from every sorority? And would having a letter of recommendation or explaining my circumstances (me coming from a private school that focused more on preparedness than grades and then going to public highschool that used a 4.0 grading system) make a difference?

Girl yes you can but you'll be a grade risk. Depending on your looks,persoanlity, insta tops still might take you. Last semester Pi Phi took a lot of grade risks. But a definite in is for Achio since they always take grade risks. Definitely not getting into Chi O

Yeah sororities don’t admit it but they look at your Instagram, kind of judgmental if you ask me

Sororities definitely stalk instagrams, but it less so a matter of whether or not your instagram looks good but just so we can try to learn a little bit about you outside of what you put on your recruitment app! Sororities want to see what activities you did and a little bit about what your values are. If a sorority is going to cut you based on how you look in your insta pics, then that's honestly not a sisterhood you want to be a part of.

Don't kid yourself. Your Insta matters a LOT. You better make sure it looks really good and shows you as an attractive outgoing person. You should look at the Instagram pages for the various groups as clues to what they want to find on YOUR Insta.

Some houses can take a few girls with lower GPAs but you just need to go into recruitment being okay with the fact that a lot of houses you may really like will have to drop you based on their own recruitment processes. The process each sorority uses is different and in some cases a rec letter may help but definitely won't for all.You could always try this year and if the results aren't what you wanted, get your college GPA to a solid point and re-rush next fall. :)

My sorority is very strict about grades. A lot of houses don’t take any grade risks. You can try & if it doesn’t work out, then rush in the spring!

So happy to hear that you want to go through formal recruitment! Some houses are very serious about grade risks, so you'll need to go into recruitment understanding that some houses are going to drop you right away. If you're not okay with that, you can always wait to rush in the spring or the following fall, or you can always go through recruitment this fall anyways, and not take a bid or drop before initiation if things don't work out how you want them too. You never know, you might find your home in one of the houses that takes grade risks. A lot of houses are very understanding if you have extenuating circumstances for your grades, too. I know a lot of the girls in my house are grade risks and they are so happy where they ended up. You're going to hear this a lot if/when you go through recruitment, but trust the process and it will all work out!

Congratulations! Good for you for choosing UofA! For sure go through recruitment, you will meet friends for a lifetime!

My advise is to be well prepared, get many recommendations from alums for each sorority. Pull up a template on how to create a sorority resume and plan meetings with alums who you are asking to write you a recommendation. These recommendations need to be received by the rush chair of each chapter about a month before recruitment starts. The more each chapter knows about you the more invitations for second and third rounds you will get. This gives the chapters and you more time to get to know each other. You should be able to find alums by asking your mom and her friends or if you were in NCL (a mother daughter national service organization for middle - high school age girls) you might have luck asking these mom's.

Online you will see suggestions on how to dress for each round, remember it will be warm in August and you will want to wear comfortable shoes.

When you ask an alum for a recommendation be prepared to provide a resume of your high school and community activities, leadership awards, gap and SAT scores, plus include a photo of yourself and and Greek affiliation in regards to your parents, ( were your parents in Sororities or Fraternities or your grandparents or uncles or aunts... You may be a legacy to a top house which gives you higher consideration.

Good luck, your are going to have an experience of a lifetime and will love University of Arizona!!

Girl just be yourself! If you are comfortable, focus on finding your people, and not concerned about others then you will find your chapter! Don't worry, they will help you figure something out!
