When the recruitment sign ups are released there is a grade warning. Yes you do need a transcript to verify your GPA. PHA gives you a breakdown based on green, red or yellow. If your GPA is in the green then you shouldn't worry about grades, if it is in the yellow then it is iffy. Houses like Theta and Chi O who put a lot of emphasis on grades most likely would cut you and with other houses it's a toss up between your grades and what you bring to the table. Then there's the red zone. If you are in the red zone then there is a warning that your grades are low and you probably won't get a chance to be in a house.

Especially if you don't have a substantial reason behind your grades, like a major medical condition or something similar. If you just have bad grades, then be prepared to be released from all houses, or most houses, after the first or second round.

My house has a 3.2 cutoff and there has to be an exceptional reason to take someone below that. Yet according to rumor on this site, we are a "dumb" house with no standards. EVERY house has grade standards and will automatically release anyone not meeting those standards.
