gpa and formal recruitment

by: Help   

So i know formal recruitment takes GPA into high consideration. One class dragged my GPA down to anywhere from a 3.1-3.36. How will this effect my chances of getting into each sorority? Im just worried i will end up getting cut from most of them. I know ones like Theta are very selective about having a high GPA. Which ones should i be worried about?

If you have above a 3.0 you are golden - will not have an effect on your recruitment experience at all.
If a sorority is cutting you for GPA it is done after the very first round and solely based off of their own GPA requirement
I believe the highest cut off is a 3.0, a few have 2.85, and most are 2.7

good luck and have fun (:

Pretty sure Theta and Chi O have higher cutoffs.

Depends on the sorority. Chances are you'll get cut from a handful for grades (If you'd like, you can tell yourself that the houses that did cut you did so because of grades. Makes some people feel better)

After the second and third rounds, some houses still consider grades, but it's less of a priority and is usually more of a tie-breaker than anything.

And then obviously once you make it to the last day, you won't get cut for grades because you're somewhere on the bid list.

Basically, don't worry so much. That GPA won't adversely affect you too much, and even if you have a perfect GPA, it doesn't guarantee you won't get cut anyways. Just be the best version of yourself and relax. Focus on finding friends and don't fall in love with houses so much that it would ruin your recruitment experience to not get a bid from them. Good luck!
