gpa/sorority curious

bump!

Not gonna say what house I went but I will say this: I had a very very high gpa in high schools and was told that because of that I’d get a lot of houses back after open house because open house is supposedly mostly on GPA. That wasn’t true for me or any of my friends. GPA doesn’t matter quite as much as people think it does, but it’s still good to have a higher one just to maximize your options

I went into rush with a 4.3. I got the max houses each round. Got dropped from the house I was hoping for before pref. Happy where I ended up.

It’s been awhile and haven’t looked recently, but believe Panhellenic posts data on number of houses the “average” pnm gets each round based on gpa. This data shows the higher the gpa, the more houses each round “on average”.

So a high gpa increases your odds.

That being said, it doesn’t guarantee anything. And how you converse, relate to others, etc does make a notable difference.

There is no data on number of houses each round for girls who “came across well, looked good, were easy to relate to and were conversational”. But If there was, this would show to be even important than grades.

I had a 3.6 and had a full card every round. I pref'd my top two houses and am right where I belong. I had no connections to any house and am OOS. I worked really hard on my social resume, had an blah video, and had two letters of rec for every house. It was all about the connections and conversations I made during rush.

4.3, full schedule and kept the houses I wanted the whole time. Oos and knew no one in any house.

GL!

Moral of the story…you have to have a good gpa(3.7-4.0) and not be weird

4.3, from the north, no connections
had a full card every round and got my top choice

Had a 3.9 and killer resume (class pres, homecoming court, best looking nominee) and I had connections in KD, ZTA and Phi Mu. Didn’t feel at home in any of those, but pledged one of trinity houses - AXO, AGD and XO and love it.

My GPA was 4.3 and I had a full card each round. I didn't get my top choice but am very happy where I landed.
