<p>Hello!</p>
<pre><code> I am going to be attending a four year collage this fall. I am an undergrad freshman, but I took college classes and have six credit hours and am taking one more class currently at a two year collage, so in realty when I go to the new school I will still be counted as a first semester freshman. I graduated early in 2013, and wanted to finish my last year cheerleading for my all star squad. Due to a bad accident and injury, I had to stop. I could not attend school for a few months. Now that I am 100% recovered I am at a two year collage for the spring. I have six credit hours, and I am taking one more class so I will earn 8 credit hours. I am transferring to the four year school I planed on going too before my accident.

<p>(All credits did transfer). However would my gpa for when I rush be my collage gpa or my high school gpa? My high school gpa was well fine. But my collage gpa is much better. Would it weighed for the chapters? </p>
<p>I know the requirements for the chapters, while I do meet them all. If they take my high school gpa, I think it would be ok but like I said my collage gpa is better. </p>
<p>Also can a girl be cut from a house simply because she barley makes the requirement? Or can she be kept even if her gpa did not meet the requirements, but she has done outstanding things that would make her a great choice and the house simply fell in love with her? (this is not me but just a random question). </p>
<pre><code> Thank you so much!

<p>I believe you tell them your GPA, so you can probably pick if you want it to be your accumulated GPA from both CC and HS, or CC. Not entirely sure though, I’m sure it ranges from school to school.</p>
<p>Being at the school shows you are a great student. They aren’t going to weigh GPA a crazy amount, because in college, a good comm major GPA is a whole point higher than the average engineering major. But a fantastic GPA sure doesn’t hurt, either.</p>
<p>Sororities will pick you according to your personality, i.e. your genuinely, morals, just the overall vibe they get from you, and what you seem to want in a sorority. Keep the conversation flowing, and be easy to talk to!</p>
<p>Every school is completely different when it comes to choosing girls and rushing them, but the best thing to keep in mind is to be yourself. I heard this a million times before recruitment but paid never weighed it accordingly until I was chosen, and initiated in a chapter that I don’t really fit in well with.</p>
<p>Just be yourself and you will find the one that will fit you best! :)</p>
<p>We get your GPA from your official transcript and use the GPA you received in your last semester. Since you haven’t had a full semester, they will most likely use your high school GPA. The use of your GPA depends when you rush. At least at my school, Greek life has become more of quantity rather than quality, so if you rush in the fall, we aren’t so concerned about your GPA as long as you are a good candidate, because of the numbers. It may matter a little more in the spring because we don’t have to get as big of a pledge class. I wouldn’t worry about your GPA to much, as long as it’s above the minimum requirement. THEY WILL NOT KICK YOU OUT BECAUSE OF A BAD SEMESTER! You will be placed on academic parole, which means most of your rights (ability to be involved in things) is limited! Good grades are important to the community. Greeks are always looking out for each other and trying to help sisters succeed in college, after all, that’s what we’re all there for. Most sororities and fraternities give out study partners and have a set amount of hours you have to study in the library each week. Generally the GPA requirements are low enough that if can’t reach them, you’d probably fail out of college anyway!! Keep in mind, YOU and your personality definitely have the greatest impact on whether or not a sorority chooses you. These girls just want to see if you’ll positively impact the sorority and be able to get along with most of the girls. REMEMBER, your sisters will most likely be the ones you create life-long friendships with. I am SUPER excited for you! Going Greek is one of the best decisions I have ever made!! Good Luck =)

<p>P.S.-If you get a bid, there’s a 99% chance that all of the girls love you and do not want you to leave the sorority. Anyways, once you get a bid, it’s no longer up to the girls whether you’re allowed to be in the sorority. If they want you out, they have to go to national headquarters, which is a pain in the butt. It would take a lot to be “kicked out” of a sorority.</p>
<p>The most important thing to remember is that recruitment (it’s not called rush anymore) is different at each college. Your GPA may very well hinder you at a very competitive recruitment (many SEC schools). Also, you ask if a house can drop you because of your GPA. If it is competitive enough, they can drop you for that and so much more. </p>
<p>There is not much you can do to raise your GPA- you are essentially done with high school. Just put your best foot forward and be yourself. Check with your college to see if recommendations are necessary. If so, start asking former teachers, neighbors, doctors, and anyone else with a college education if they are an alum of any of the sororities. Check to see which chapters are active at your school and get the recs to those specifically. Check the Panhellenic website for your college and see if they have recommendations about what to wear for each day of recruitment. Remember- you are dressing to impress a group of girls- not boys. There is a difference. Good luck! </p>
<p>GPAs are crucial in sorority recruitment. Sororities are required by their national organizations to have a certain GPA, so they pay close attention to yours. Make sure your rec writers know the reason for the gap in your classes, and tell the chapters that. The sororities will also see both your high school GPA and college GPA, and will consider both. </p>
<p>In very competitive recruitments, a panhellenic may say a girl should have a 2.5 or above, or a 3.0…but in reality, some chapters will set their floor grade to pledge at even higher than that - as high as 3.5. A few girls with under that may pledge, but they usually have some other factor - they’re a legacy, or close friend of a current sister, or some talent or achievement. So the higher the grade, the better.</p>
<p>You don’t have a GPA until you complete a semester of school. </p>
<p>Your college transcript probably just says something like transferred to all the credits you currently have. Thats what mine says for my AP credits and community college courses I took during the summer. All this stuff doesn’t get factored into your GPA but instead it fills whatever requirements you took the classes for. </p>
<p>In another note, GPA is crucial for Greeks. In my school we are put on a higher standard than the rest of the student body and have to have a GPA above the school’s standard or otherwise we get put on probation. Make sure you keep your GPA not only to be Greek but because its also good to show that you are smart to potential employers. </p>
