by: Mizzou tigerWhat kind of grades do you need to get into tri delta? Also do the sororities look more at your GPA or your ACT? Thanks!

Tbh. Does it really matter. All private school kids have good GPA's and ACT's. it's expected of them. So out of all the private school kids that rush, it's not really fair to the others who go to public schools and work just as hard. So why should sororities give out all their bids to private school kids? They shouldn't. Don't get mad at them because they take that into consideration. Yes public schools are probably easier, but don't bash on the students and say that they have high GPA's but low ACT scores(note some students aren't good test takers). Another difference is that Private schools don't have as many restrictions as public schools have on what there teachers can teach(Also public schools usually don't teach to standardized test like the ACT). Only public schools in the suburbs of STL and KC or in Columbia (and some other schools like Blair Oaks in JC) can really compare to private schools because most public schools just don''t have the funds to keep up. Same with sports! A lot of the private schools and public schools in rich areas have really good athletes and great coaches. It just depends on where you're located. Also just because you have a high ACT score means absolutely nothing. A kid that has a 21 on his/her ACT can be just as smart as a person who has a 32. To be honest you guys should look at their GPA's and class rank to see how hard they worked, and you should look at how they have developed over the years.

Yes I'm serious. ACT/SAT scores don't predict your success, and they don't tell you how intelligent you are either. The ACT is just a test that sees how much you remember over the course of four years. There are many people that I have know that have gotten 30's or above. Others who didn't are just as smart as they are. You act like you can't take the ACT over and over again to get a high score, or get a tutor, and to think that a person with a 21 will never be in your league intellectually is ridiculous; I do respect your opinion though.

Well, this pretty much proves the point that someone with a 21 ACT is not as smart as someone with a 32. No one said the ACT is a predictor of success now, did they? Perhaps that's why you did so poorly on the ACT; your deductive reasoning leaves a lot to be desired. THE ACT is, however, a measure of intelligence. If you truly don't believe a standardized test that measure how much knowledge you retain is NOT a measure of intelligence, then God help you. In fact, if you got a 21 on your ACT God help you, too, because you need all the help you can get. And if you have just ONE example of someone who raised their dismal 21 to a 32 through tutoring, well, I want to hear about it. YOU could take it 1,000 times and still be stupid.

Lets be real, you are wrong to say that GPA's should be considered as well as class rank. Class rank is based off GPA's!! All GPA really is, is how hard you studied in those 4 years for a test that you didn't remember a day or two later. If you did remember then you would have scored higher on the SAT/ACT. I hate when people use the old "I'm a bad test taker" blah blah blah, we have all been taking tests for 12 years now, nobody likes it, stop with the excuse!

You really think that someone who gets a 21 on the ACT is just as smart as someone who gets a 32? Really? REALLY? And you probably think that you earned all of those soccer trophies you received in elementary school. And when your mom told you you were beautiful, you believed that, too. GPA's mean little in these days of grade inflation, And many high schools (most of them private) are doing away with class rank entirely because mommy and daddy don't want their kid to be less than average after paying the big bucks. So the only equalizer is the ACT and, as someone who earned a 32, I can assure you that someone with a 21 will never be in my league intellectually.
