I got cut from recruitment last year and had a low GPA, slightly under a 3.0. But My freshman year of college I did very well, my overall year GPA was a 3.514, and my spring semester GPA was a 3.7. I have worked really hard this school year and I hope chapters will view my improvement as a good thing. Do you guys think I have a chance of getting a bid?

I think you have a really good chance to be considered. That is really something to be proud of.

First, congrats on doing well your freshman year and focusing on getting your grades up. The main reason for having a gpa cutoff is because high school grades tend to be predictive of college grades. So what you have done is beat the odds, and that is a great thing!

That being said, my house will only look at your college gpa. Again, we consider high school grades a general predictor of your likelihood to do well juggling college classes and sorority requirements. Once you have a college gpa, especially a full year, we no longer really need to guess how well you will do. Your 3.5+ would ensure you would not be released due to grades.
