Fraternities and Grades

[UFJunior01]

<p>I want to rush a fraternity this spring but only have a 2.4 GPA. Do fraternities at UF request grades? Would I have to send them my transcript?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Does anyone in a fraternity know how the process of sending them grades work? Do I order an official transcript and hand it to them? I am trying to understand the process to know because if they need my grades and they are too low, I don’t want to go through a semester of pledging if I cannot be initiated</p>

<p>Bump! I could really use any advice!</p>

<p>Each fraternity has it’s own rules on GPA, and they do take it into account.</p>

<p>Here is how the calculate the (Chapter) GPA.</p>

Each semester, the chapter president submits a list of all members of the organization called the chapter roster to Sorority and Fraternity Affairs. This list denotes which members are active and which are new members. At the end of the semester, the chapter rosters of registered social sororities and fraternities are sent to the Office of Institutional Research and Planning. This office calculates the GPA for each chapter based solely on the rosters supplied to Sorority and Fraternity Affairs (broken out by active members, new members, and overall chapter GPA) and reports the statistics to Sorority and Fraternity Affairs. This information is compiled and released to the public via the semester grade report which ranks the chapters by academic performance.
