They are important. Yes they will check. Some houses will cut you if your hs gpa is under 3.5 but most require less than that. No houses want a grade risk. Grades matter before and while you are in the house.

Grades are super important; I rushed as a sophomore and had a super good first round but got cut from all but two houses because my GPA was below a 3.0

Gpa requirements much higher for freshman than sophomores. So a 3.0 hs gpa isn't going to cut it but a 3.0 college might.

what gpa should you have as a sophomore rushing? What would be considered "good" to the majority of the houses to where you wouldn't be cut for grade risks?

Yes, grades are looked at and some houses care more about your GPA than others but houses won't cut you SIMPLY because of GPA. Just have above a 2.5 and you will be okay :)

Disagree with only needing a 2.5. Pretty sure only one house has a 2.5 for gpa. Most houses require higher. I would say a 2.8 and above to be safe. Some houses will cut you solely for gpa and that is a fact.

Grades are important. Houses want to make sure that you will be able to handle the stress of classes and all of the activities of being in a sorority. The higher the GPA the better chance you have at being successful at both. No house wants their new members on acedemic probation because they can't maintain the minimum grade requirement.

would axo be very competitive then? Would they cut me if my gpa is only a 3.2 lol

every response is trolling. lol @ houses asking for your high school transcript. the only thing they check is how much your parents' house is worth on zillow . com

this is definitely false. i'm in an upper mid house and we don't do that during recruitment. Grades are more important in the beginning of rush

Grades are important, period. You won't get that fine post-grad job if you can't spell the name of your sorority on a transcript.

The gpa varies by house and also varies by year you are. High school gpa requirements are higher. Check out sorority pages on msu site which lists what they are looking for as far as college gpa.

When you register for recruitment as a freshman you will need to submit your HS GPA. If you are a sophomore, you must authorize Panhel to access your college transcript. You cannot register to rush with below a 2.5 but most houses want well above that (2.5 is an NPC minimum requirement). A 3.2 is not a phenomenal GPA but it's not tragic either. If you have a great personality and the sisters love you, that may make up for the lower GPA.
No groups are actually looking up house values on zillow -- that's BS. But they will be stalking your social media so clean it up.
Go into recruitment with an open mind. Even though you have friends in one group, remember that there are 100 other sisters in there voting so nobody is a sure thing. You may end up liking another sorority better, and you are going to be closest with your pledge sisters anyway.
Good luck!
