guys you are so meannn...my life sucked there for a while. it was awful. how could you laugh at that.

i cant wait to come back here and tell you all im a sorority girl :)

If that was standing outside my door, I might not leave either!:eek:

I can not believe I just read this whole thread. I must be crazy and with a headache to boot. For what it is worth I think your Greek Life office might have a minimum GPA to participate of a 2.5 to protect potential new members going through recruitment from getting released from every Chapter for not having grades. I KNOW your FRIENDS (girls tell PNM's what they want to hear all the time) told you their Chapter would take you, but most Chapters have a minimum GPA for college students and students coming from High School. The other thing to remember is that a couple of girls do not speak for the entire Chapter not even the Recruitment Chair. If this Chapter does have a minimum GPA and there is an Advisor present I think your chances would be slim to none getting through that requirement IMHO.

I know this is not what you want to hear, but I think if you go through recruitment with a 2.12-2.45 (no one knows what grades you actually will get even though you are counting on a 4.0) will end in major disappointment for you. If I was your friend or mentor I would advise you to get the best grades you can this summer and get the best grades you can get in the Fall. Hopefully your campus does spring informal and you can try to get into a sorority that way.

I don't know if you are for real or not, but good luck to you. You have a long road ahead of you.

the sorority doesnt care about your gpa as long as you have met the minimum. and at my school you have to get a letter from the greek life office approving that you can rush before you even get to do that. and i know the girls werent just telling me that. for a fact. you guys wouldnt know. also, im rooming in a house with some of them next semester.

the office can tell me not to rush? thats what i thought...

and if i had a 2.5 i could rush? i just need 9 credits this summer.

update: i contacted the lady in charge or the summer college and asked her about the credit limit and everything. this is what she said:

"You will need to get approval from your department chairperson/advisor to take over 7 credits in a six week session. Thanks"

so next stop=my advisor. do you guys think hell let me?

I'm sure the chapter advisory board and National Officers would agree.

If that were the case, blondebabe would have been banned a looong time ago...

I lost.

You're right, we don't know... and unless you've sat in on any of the sorority's membership selection meetings, neither do you.

Again, you're rooming with these girls, but you have no friends...?

I wouldn't if I were him. You don't have a good enough GPA to get into your major. Rationality dictates that you would take a step back and try harder while having less on your plate, not a lot more. But none of this is rational, so what the hell do I know?

the chapter advisory board and national officers dont have a huge say ..maybe for your sorority but not mine. i know a lot of girls that got in with a 2.5

Were I the adviser, I would not as I would be concerned you just couldn't handle the load as evidenced by your previous performance. You would just be further down this bad road.

However, WE ARE NOT HIM/HER! We can't tell you what HE/SHE would do...only what we would do. And if I were the adviser for a chapter on your campus, you would be released the first day with this GPA. That may be mean but maintaining our standards and not having to deal with you for 3 lackluster semesters in a row before we could expel you is just not how I'd want to spent my time and energy.

just bc im rooming with them doesnt make me their friend. i hardly know them. it was a last minute thing that happened.

but i absolutely without a doubt could handle the load, in fact if i got in, my gpa would go up!
