please help!!!

I did not get accepted to Texas A&M my freshman year because of low test scores and less than amazing GPA. I have been attending another college and have been working really hard. I have a high college GPA and leadership + volunteer experience in college. I understand that sophomores/juniors have to submit high school transcript and test scores for sorority recruitment. I would be confident going through recruitment if I only had to submit only college "resume" but am worried that my high school "resume" will cost me a bid. Can anyone offer advice please? If I have a poor high school "resume" but have an awesome college "resume" is that ok? Should I be able to get a bid if I maximize options? I really want to be a part of greek life but I'm worried that my high school grades and test scores could cost me a bid. Will it hurt my chances or am I freaking out for nothing? Please help!!

There are soooo many quality pnm's that go through. If you don't have the whole package then you basically don't have a chance. I wouldn't count on a bid if I were you. Sorry, just telling it how it is

Do NOT listen to the above comment. With A&M's greek system getting bigger, you definitely have a chance. Sororities are looking for all kinds of women & you have obviously established yourself in activities in college so you should do just fine. They look at your scores but it's not like you are referred to by your SAT score. Rush and make the best out of recruitment! You will not regret it. Oh and definitely get recs for every sorority if you can. I would say recs are extremely important!

Yeah go for it, if you wanna be an adpi that is. Probably the only house that would take someone with high school scores not good enough for A&M

Someone is obviously bitter. I know plenty of girls that have gone through recruitment that have less than stellar test scores and have gotten their top choices. So please don't comment when you know nothing about recruitment.

go through recruitment...your college GPA is much more important than high school or test scores...unless your college is "University of Phoenix" or something like that

I think you're worrying about the little details too much. Just rush and enjoy it! If the sororities don't want you for exactly who you are, then forget them.

#1 is right on the money. There are so many amazing girls that come through recruitment that you have to have a near perfect resume if you want a chance. Especially as a sophomore. It won't matter that your college GPA is great if your high school GPA and test scores aren't. They are looking for top notch girls, and if you don't have the complete package, most won't be interested.
