rushing gpa

If you have connections to any houses, a 3.0 won’t get you dismissed entirely. Many houses have a hard cut off at 3.0 provided they like everything else about the girl. If they are on the fence, they use GPA as a determining factor. If you don’t have any connections to any house, you may get put on the first drop list for Philanthropy. It has nothing to do with you or your ability to be successful at UA or be a good sister; it’s just that houses have to get their numbers down and they will only pull a girl off that drop list if she was amazing walking through the front door at IWT. You can still find a house that you will be happy in and make long lasting friends. Houses are filled with girls that can make you feel right at home.

Why don’t you agree with it? It’s not like it’s required it’s just suggested. Everyone always complains about chapters with crappy grades but doesn’t want anybody to do anything about it

I personally wish we could have a minimum of at least 3.0 but it’s actually not allowed unless your formal rush is in the spring because then it’s based on college grades

I don't agree with it either, mainly because a high school GPA is NOT indicative of how well you will do in college because college and hs is so different academically. I was the person in high school who had to study for WEEKS just to get a B or C, had extreme trouble keeping up, had to work ridiculously hard if I wanted an A. Got to college, the structure just works better for me and I have no problem pulling A's.
On the contrary, a lot of my friends with 4.0s in HS got to college and absolutely tanked because they could breze by in high school, not so much in college because you actually need to study.
Raising the min gpa for girls who have never even taken a college course is not going to make houses have higher gpas. You need to do something about the study habits of the girls who are already in the house.

If you’re still on here, could you give some more deets on this rush? Like are you a supermodel or do some of us basic girls have a shot with a 3.0? Not looking for old row or anything crazy...

I’d like to see what people
Think who actually know but....if you look at Greek chic it says they recommend a 3.2 but a 2.8 puts you in the “yellow” zone meaning you will have heavy cuts. You only need one girl.

You easily could still get in a sorority but with a 2.8 you for sure will be very limited. A lot of sororities will be forced to drop you.

You aren't going to find specific houses min gpa's posted anywhere. That's internally info. Some are allowed to take some gpa exceptions, some aren't. Look up gpa rankings from spring. If they are top ranked and top gpa house, they most likely won't take a low gpa. If they are a top ranked house with a middle of the row gpa ranking, you can guess they may be looking to move up and won't take low gpa's.

The 2017 Greek Chic had suggested GPAs listed. (There is no way of knowing if these are a minimum, how firm they are and if they are still accurate.)

Let's subjectify each other instead and figure out what makes one tick in the 5 minute convo we have during rush. Yeah and don't forget to talk about all the meds you take for depression during the party.
