gpa during rush
by: RushI'm going to be a freshman and rushing in the fall, and to be honest I'm pretty nervous. I'm really outgoing, easy to get along with, and I don't consider myself bad looking. I have a 3.0 gpa and I'm a legacy in a top house. I know that some houses can make exceptions if you stand out and have a good personality, but how good do you have to be? I'm super nervous that most of the upper/middle tier houses will cut me after seeing my gpa, are my chances of getting into a good house ruined?

With so many legacies going through rush the top houses often are looking for concrete reasons to cut them. A low-GPA is just the kind of objective measure a house can use to justify to alums why a legacy gets cut. Sorry, but Theta, ChiO and PiPhi probably won't be interested. And since PiPhi's grades dropped a bit this spring after such a good showing in fall, they likely will be paying extra close attention to grades. I mean, really, someone with a high school gpa of 3.0 is not exactly going to set the world on fire academically. Sorry.

We actually do pay close attention to legacies, sorry. We cut some that we really feel just wouldn't be happy with us. As for gpa, we are strict but so are our competitors like chi o, theta, delta and kappa who also have strict grade cuts. We don't want girls to cut us simply because they think their gpa is too low. We have taken fantastic girls with lower gpas just like our competition does.

Especially if you're a Pi Phi legacy, they don't care about legacies that much.
