Rush questions
by: Mizzou girlHi everyone! I will be a freshman this fall at mizzou and I am looking into the rush process. I am getting really nervous because I have recently learned a lot of houses have minimum highschool gpa requirements (myself and my family didn’t even know what rush was until a month ago). My highschool gpa is very low (below a 3.0) due to illnesses I was struggling with my freshman and sophomore year. I was diagnosed with celiac and was constantly sick during school for about a year before being diagnosed, my asthma also has come back really badly to the point where I was missing school multiple times a week to go to either the hospital or go home to use a nebulizar. There are a few more outstanding issues that caused my gpa to drop significantly. My junior year I got all A,s and B’s but because of freshman and sophomore year the gpa was still very low. This year (senior) I have taken all ap’s which has been difficult but my gpa hasn’t dropped or gone up. Should I even rush? Is there a way to give a reason for a low gpa or is it simply not worth it??

You can get recs for each sorority from a rec writer who knows you well and can explain your health issues while turning this into a success story by calling attention to your academic comeback. Many national sororities now accept recs from third parties (non-alumnae) who know the pnm well, like a teacher or school councelor, etc. You can check each national's site to see which ones, which means your rec writer can pretty much make a template rec and just alter it for each sorority's specific form. For any sororities that still require an alum rec you can try to deal with that.

I would go through and try it, if the houses you are really set on don’t take you because of your gpa you can always try COB in the spring and make sure you have a good fall college GPA. not every house does COB though which is important to remember, and they take way less girls

But what if I’m healthy now? It was only my freshman and sophomore year that I was very sick. Maybe your right it just seems so fun
