Very true - OSU's minimum GPA required to participate is 3.0. This is a 3.0 core GPA (unweighted). Add to that some houses list a minimum .2 or .25 higher. Rumor mill/tent talk last year had the GPA cuts for some houses at 3.5 or higher. Somebody said a few were even at 3.8. GPA matters very much at OSU. I forgot and some girls probably had no clue. Probably a harsh wake up call for a few.

My daughter's roommate was an independent - she signed up for recruitment and then didn't go through recruitment. She has a very active life at OSU and had a close set of friends based on major and from high school. That's something also at OSU - there are a lot of OK and TX kids there and there's a lot of ready made social circles to fit into.

Thanks so much for the numbers, DubaiSis! I know of two happy new Pi Phis, one happy new Kappa, and a new Gamma Phi Beta at OSU!! It's great to get the details on the behind-the-scenes breakdown. Appreciate your hard work!

As in...they don't let you sign up with less than a 3.0? That's surprising.

I should have said "participate successfully". You're not excluded from participating. From the recruitment guide:

"If your high school GPA is below a 3.0 or your college GPA is below a 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale), you may have significantly fewer opportunities than participants with higher GPAs. Potential new members who do not meet the minimum academic requirements of a specific chapter are typically released early in the recruitment process to allow these women to explore other alternatives."
