rush
by: AI'm planning on rushing as a freshman in the fall. I'm a Tri Delt legacy & a GPhi legacy with a 3.19 gpa, does that mean either one of them would offer me a bid? I think I would fit in and get along with girls in both of the houses, so even if my gpa is a little low would they look past that since i'm a legacy and (from what it seems like) I fit into their house?

The problem with being a Delta legacy is that Delta is so big nationally, that there are SO MANY Delta legacies. They don't have as much value as a legacy to a house that is smaller nationally.
Sigma legacies are a huge deal because Sigma is a very small sorority nation wide. Sigma Kappa is the same way. Houses like Delta, Delta Gamma or KKG have a lot of girls who happen to be legacies because they're so big.

It matters much more how long a house has been on this campus instead of how big a house is nationally. As a big state university, Mizzou attracts many more legacies whose parents went to this school than to random out-of-state schools. There are lots of Sigma, SK and Phi Mu chapters all around the country, but the fact that they have been on this campus a much shorter time than the major sororities (ChiO, PiPhi, Theta, Delta etc.) means there won't be as many legacies of college age going through rush this year. I know some of the major houses could fill entire pledge classes just with legacies, but they would never want to. That's why it just doesn't mean much to be a PiPhi, Theta, Delta, ChiO legacy.

I would look at some lower tier houses that are similar to delta and gphi as back up options. APhi is becoming a very strong chapter here and does not have a GPA requirement. DG has had some problems over the years but I think they will still be able to bounce back! Both options would be great!

Okay you need to take a seat. 3.1 isn't perfect, but not everyone has as great of a grade standard as you do. 3.1 is not bad it's okay or decent enough and definitely not just satisfactory. Consistently getting B's in high school would give you a 3.0. Since when are B's bad. Give her a break

Someone with a 3.1 got just about as many C's as they did A's. I don't know about your school, but in my school getting a C was like getting an F. In order to get into National Honor Society at my school you had to be in the top 25% of the class and that meant having a 3.7 or higher. A 3.1 wouldn't even be the top half of the class where I'm from. Someone who didn't care enough about grades in high school and got a 3.1 is destined to be a grade risk. No top tier houses want to take a grade risk.

The comment by OK was super sarcastic and rude, like most of the info. on this site. As a Tri-Delt, who was a double legacy (Mom & Grandma) and as someone who has many GPhi friends, I can tell you the positives and negatives. For one, both houses seem to attract similar girls (many girls end up preffing our houses #1/#2 - I did, along w/Pi Phi.) Both of our houses will invite legacies back a 2nd time, but there are no guarantees. Make sure your references indicate that you are a legacy to TriDelt & GPhi. Also, our houses (TriDelt & GPhi) get along very well and do an annual formal together called TriPhi. You would be very happy in either house and it is a neat feeling (especially on initiation) being a legacy. Honestly, a 3.1 is cutting it close (I think both houses cut at 3.3) BUT if you click with the girls, there are grade exceptions. I wish you the best of luck!
