<strong>Subject:</strong><br />Strategies for Low GPA pnms<br /><br /> Poster Message:
If you have a lower gpa, not as many connections (coming from far away) or any other kind of challenging situation coming into recruitment- this is for you. If you have a perfect GPA and are an Alabama beauty, you can stop reading! Thanks! The way ranking works is it matches the ranking given to you by the chapters. When you have two low ranks, you have a “match” and you get invited back. The chapters have the upper hand all the way through recruitment and the pnm only really gets to choose at pref. What this means is that in the early rankings for philanthropy and sisterhood- a pnm can sometimes strategize by considering what chapters will want her the most- and rank those chapters at the top to help make sure she gets more invites back. If there is a chapter that you know is probably not a fit or won’t ask you back- but say they’re the most popular chapter on campus and everyone else wants them… you can be strategic by ranking them at the bottom. Why? Because it bumps the other chapters up a little and gives you a better chance of getting houses that are interested in you a chance. Chapters rank pnms before philanthropy based on who knows you, your grades and other attributes like leadership or talents. If you know that a chapter is likely to rank you lower, focus instead on the other chapters and rank them higher. Your higher ranking will help to get them to have you on their invite list for philanthropy. The chapters that are less popular are often great fits and are overlooked by a lot of middle pnms- but by ranking strategically, you have more invites and have more choices.
