No connections at all as in you have not met a single sorority girl or have a friend in a house anywhere.
I’m taking no connections to mean none at all. 3.4 is not that bad if you are really cute and dressed perfectly. Everyone is dressed up but some girls just have that perfect dress on that no one else has and it is just perfect and she stands out. If you have a 3.4 and stand out and have a great Personality and click with actives you could do better than you think. But you would have to be running on all cylinders and be really memorable. If you don’t click with someone you will most likely be cut from AXO, XO right away

Depends... Do you have recs for all the houses? And are you pretty?
If you answered no to both of these questions you'll probably be cut from all OR houses right after IWTs... When I rushed I came in from the NorthEast with a 3.5 GPA, no in house connections, and a handful of recs (I only had one rec for one OR house being XO)... I was dropped by all the OR houses except XO after IWTs... And I was dropped from XO after philanthropy and I'm pretty sure they only kept me after IWTs because I had a rec from a really good alum.
It sucks because I was also very involved in high school and I had a lot of work experience. On top of that, I had great conversations in all the houses too. But OR houses are picky and honestly if you don't have in house connections and/or have something really special to offer (like great grades or being pretty) then you'll probably be cut.

Realistically, you're probably going to be cut from most OR houses... AXO and XO because of grades, PM because of looks, and KD because of lack of connections. DDD might even cut you too if they're going to be harsh on grades this year, which they probably will be.
But you really shouldn't worry about this. I know some houses look really glamorous but at the end of the day they all offer the same things... No matter which house you end up in you'll still get swaps, date parties, friends, etc.

No ones knows the answer to this it really depends on how memorable you are. You have grades but you need grades and everything else. It’s the girls who know everyone but don’t have grades that freak out the most. It’s a rude awakening. You certainly will not get dropped for grades it’s more of will your other qualities get you asked back. You passed grades though

In my OR house we don't really look too hard at grades as long s you're above the requirement which I'm pretty sure is 3.3 at the highest...... I guess other houses do it different but for us if you make the cut off your grades won't negatively affect you, even if it's exactly what the cut off is
