I like how the University of Memphis Panhellenic site gives the information for each chapter and the GPA they want.

I know several people here at Kansas who had a 3.0 or lower in high school but got in because they met minimum ACT scores. In fact, I graduated high school with a 2.75 but received a 3.7 this past semester at KU! So it's unfortunate that we have to judge by high school grades.

I heard one chapter at my school set a minimum of 3.25, and another set theirs at 3.5. It was just a rumor, but based on these chapters average gpas, it's probably true.

The events in the post you quoted happened 40+ years ago. Things are different now.

I'm confused by something, do chapters look at test scores during recruitment? Because this was mentioned earlier and i have never heard of this.

Where?

there and one post earlier

They're talking about College Admission.

The ACT score as well as the hs gpa are listed on the Recruitment application. Sometimes, if a gpa is low-ish, then the ACT score is brought into the discussion to help form a better picture of the pnm's academic performance.

I have a 2.9 unweighted GPA but a 3.1 weighted GPA and a 30 ACT score. All the house require a 3.0 thou, do I still have a chance at rush?

No one's able to say yes or no for sure, so please don't ask!

Just go through rush and find out for yourself!

Without knowing another thing about you, I would have to say that my first impression after seeing those numbers is:
You are a smart girl who did not apply herself as she should have.
OR
You were heavily involved in hs activities to the detriment of your grades.

There were rumors of one chapter at the UofA cutting anyone less than 3.75 out of high school.

I'd put the odds on truth at say 3:1

Hmmm...that gpa sounds very high to base cuts on unless they were in some sort of academic crisis as a chapter. I am not familiar with that happening, but I might be in the dark.

I think it depends on the college. I'm not too familiar with UofA to say if that's unreasonable. At my school it'd only be unreasonable because it wouldn't do any good. I don't think I ever saw a freshman with a gpa below 3.75.
