<p>I'm a second year in the E-school who transferred to UVa this past fall. I would like to get involved with the university community, so I've decided to rush this spring. Any insight on how important GPA is in the rushing process?</p>
<p>Unless things have really really changed in recent years, I believe GPA is irrelevant to pledging a social fraternity. The only issue is whether you feel you can maintain your grades with the additional time commitments and distractions of a fraternity.</p>
<p>Of course, there are also academic organizations (some of which have Greek names), where I imagine GPA would really matter.</p>
<p>Most, if not all, fraternities (and sororities) have a GPA minimum you must maintain to stay active in the org. I think the absolute base minimum is a 2.0, though some have a 2.5 minimum. The fraternity should list it on their info site</p>
<p>I guess I’m wrong. Here’s the official UVa fraternity webpage, which says most chapters have a minimum GPA. I’m guessing the national organizations care more about enforcing it than the chapters.</p>
