33girl is right...PLEASE can someone explain to me COB's?? why in the world would a sorority give a bid to a girl that has just chosen their sorority only and not go through rush?

Don't mind her.. She apparently doesn't care enough to have her posts make sense, either.

The bold text is the only portion of the post that makes sense.

Okay, I'm sorry but, it has to be said...If you can't maintain a 2.5 GPA at Bloomsburg University, then the LAST thing you need to do is worry about joining a sorority. I am trying to say this in the nicest way possible. Unless your major is something like a hard science or math then there is no reason you should be doing so poor at Bloomsburg. I say this as someone who grew up around that area. Stop worrying about Greek Life and start thinking about whether or not you will actually graduate and if you ever do graduate what you will do from there.

what are you talking about??i have a 3.0 now and its continually getting higher...im doing really good in school i just started off rough..

rachiexo 02-22-2012 08:51 PM

and because my grades are up and im academically stable i feel i am ready to rush...

and about my earlier question bout COB's...what i meant was they don't really get a chance to know the COB's since its just one party...so why would they give a bid to them? at my school they have a COB night and u can get a bid from that night..but if you dont you can still continue with rush the following week. do u get it?

What am I talking about? So, then what is your major? A 3.0 isn't that impressive and if it wasn't enough to go through rush at Bloomsburg University--then you need to worry about school and not going Greek. What I'm talking about is that some schools aren't known for being so challenging. If you aren't in a particularly challenging program and you can't even make the minimum GPA to rush then you should be more concerned about your grades and school.

yes a 3.0 isnt that impressive. but the rate of my improvement is and its getting higher. and it is enough to go through rush. (you need a 2.5). academics are ALWAYS number 1 for me. i AM more concerned about my grades and school. thats why ive improved so much.

I'm getting the feeling that academics aren't "ALWAYS number 1" for you. If you are a junior who is just NOW getting a 3.0 at Bloomsburg then what will happen when you get into harder classes your senior year? What do you plan on doing when you graduate? I'll be honest and say that if you came through rush at my house and you "just" made a 3.0 as a junior in the 2nd semester of her junior year--you wouldn't get a second look. You may have a hard time with many of the national/ international sororities. Greek life takes up a lot of your time. Maybe you should just join a club or something.

Okay...this is just stupid. You said you had a 2.12 gpa. based on general math skills (which I assume you think none of us have) If you took 18 hours (which most Universities do not allow students on Academic Probation to take that many hours) & pulled all A's (HAHAHA...this made me just chuckle) you would then have about a 2.8.

(This was all based on you having on 30 hours of credits...which would not make you a Jr. ) If you were a Jr., you can not pull up your GPA that fast against 60 hours. Liar Liar...Pants on Fire

I'm bored with this Child.

But you do realize that the longer you are in school, the harder it is to raise your GPA? And that the longer you wait to rush, the higher your GPA normally needs to be in order to get in? (And I am familiar with Bloomsburg as well.)
