wow! thanks for actually helping unlike everyone else!

yeah i know this i talked to my adviser and he told me this so yeah i am taking them at my school

Actually, it is not necessary to go to a school to be able to access the all-sorority and all-women's g.p.a.s

You've received lots of helpful advice; you just don't like it.

You must not have read my previous posts. I'm very familiar with your school. Even if my sorority doesn't have a chapter there, I can tell you that many of the women in sororities (especially the national/ international ones) care about grades more than you think. Even if they thought you were "Perfect Pledge Patty" because you were so awesome and they were willing to overlook your grades, their organizations would (most likely) not.

i am above the national gpa requirement. the requirement is 2.5 and for the record i do not have a poor gpa! or attitude!!

Since the school (not just this school, but most schools) normally sets the minimum GPA required to participate in rush well below individual sorority requirements, I would agree and say yes, the school doesn't care if the sorority takes members that have a GPA below what is in the sorority's requirements.

Don't do that.

what school do u go to? ive spoken to many sorority girls about this and they have assured me im ok gradewise..theyve actually made fun of themeselves too..theyd be like oh are u kidding me?girl my gpa sucks and this and that..and these are girls in leadership positions that told me

I did not go to Bloomsburg. I graduated from another school in Pennsylvania but, I am originally from that (Bloomsburg) area.

just because your from the area doesnt mean you know how the greek life is in my school...

Don't read too much into or put a negative spin on it - my point is I don't know (and only members of the local would) what the locals' requirements and/or membership selection criteria will be.

You're right. I would have NO IDEA how Greek Life is at Bloomsburg even though I am Greek from another school nearby and half my high school ended up at Bloom (who also went Greek). I have NO IDEA.

33girl, I have to say that maybe I read it wrong but, I didn't get the sense that SWTXBelle was saying that locals didn't have any standards. I took it as she was saying, "Hey, I'm not a member of a local but, I can tell you what NPC sororities might say." I don't think she was being hateful.

well im ending this now...
i hope you all learned something important from this: to not make assumptions and be more positive people!
goodbye, off to more work :)

Listen, I'm not going to denigrate your school. My advice holds true whether you are going to Harvard or Tyffaniyz School of Puppy Nail Art Design. You need to focus on your schoolwork.

If you know so many sorority members at your school why did you look to the internet to answer your questions?

The problem with me sleeping while you guys are chatting is I don't get to jump in to the fray.

OP, here's the answer. Chapters will pledge a girl after 1 COB/informal rush party because 1-they already know her and the party is a formality, 2-they can tell in one meeting that she's awesome and want to move forward, or 3-they need the numbers and will take anyone who walks through the door.

During formal rush, the chapters have to make cuts if they are following RFM and sometimes a chapter will make bigger cuts than they should have. A strong chapter can suddenly end up on bid day with a less than full pledge class. They could invite girls to their COB party because although they met her previously, they didn't make a final membership vote.

Going through formal rush as a junior, the NPC sororities would be your best bet because the money you pay will go toward lifelong and nationwide membership. It's a lot of money for such a short period of time. However, the NPC sororities are going to (probably - I don't know the school or the status of the locals) be more critical of a junior. The expectations are higher on all levels. People here are focusing on your grades and you're unwillingness to sound like a grown up, but your extra-curriculars are also very important.

Go through formal rush again, plan on visiting and being perfectly lovely to every chapter. When it doesn't work out, look into COB opportunities. And I would suggest you take any house that will offer you a bid since this is clearly VERY important to you. However, it is still fairly early in the spring. Are you sure all informal rush opportunities have ended for this year? Since my suggestion is to take whatever you can get, if there's something you can get this spring, I'd take it.

:rolleyes:

Not even a creative flounce . . .

However - let it never be said I don't give credit where credit is due - she did avoid the "OMG you guys are a bunch of meanies and if that is what sorority members are like I don't want to join ANYWAY" trap.
