2.8 gpa sorority rush?

by: PNM

My high school gpa is around a 2.8. I know this is lower then what sororities are looking for. Would you say this is good enough to get a bid at all? What houses still might take me?

I'm in an old row house and I had a 2.7! Granted, I did know some of the actives. You'll experience heavy cuts after the first round though so be sure to keep your options open.

your chances of being dropped first round by every house is extremely high. Unless you have super strong ties to tons of girls in a certain house, you might want to consider rushing next year.

Honestly, with 2500 girls going through rush, the first and biggest cut is for grades. Most sororities will automatically cut girls below 3.0 without even looking at their name/Rec/picture. Your chances aren't very high :/

Honestly, I don't think this is a matter of CAN you rush, but SHOULD you rush. If you made below a 3.0 in high school, I'm afraid that college is going to be very difficult for you. There's no shame in this -- everyone has different skills. Not everyone can be academically inclined, and UA has a ton of resources to help those who struggle with school. But as I'm sure you've been told a million times, college classes (well, most of them, excluding easy A electives) are much, much harder than high school classes, even if you have a less demanding major. You need to prepare yourself to devoting a lot of time to your studies this year, and in your case I don't think you can afford losing any of that time to extracurricular commitments, ESPECIALLY to a sorority! Take this year to work on developing study skills that work better for you and adjusting to college life, and if you find that you're getting the hang of it, you can rush next year! I don't mean to scare/offend you, but I do think you need to be realistic and remember what the point of going to college is. Getting sisters is great, but getting a degree is better. Good luck!
