Exactly -- with deferred, you've already "made your grades" at the school where the chapter is located.

Ah ha. Thanks for the clarification.

OK, is it that you just don't want to go through recruitment again? If you didn't even make it to the pledge ceremony, you don't really have any attachment to this sorority. Or is the issue that you want to join a sorority in the fall and aren't sure whether your bid is still "active" at the first sorority?

Which GPA did you miss? The one Panhellenic requires to rush, or the one the sorority requires to pledge? If Panhellenic let you rush with a gpa that was below the requirement, I'm going to guess that your bid was not valid. Also, if the chapter gave you a bid, but your gpa was too low for what is required for membership, they should therefore have not given you a bid and again I'm going to guess that your bid is/was never valid.

Thank you ladies for all your help! I will get the information from someone as soon as I can get ahold of one of them. I'll let you know.
