I think she will still go through with recruitment but we don't have any high hopes or expectations. In fact, my daughter wanted to take the first year and concentrate on her grades before "rushing" and try it her second year but now wants to join her friends during recruitment. Of course, the college education and making good grades is the top priority but belonging to a sorority (is a close second) where you can make lifelong friendships and where scholarship/grades/service are a top priority would only be beneficial for my daughter and I think help see her through her college years.

I really don't know if this matters in the scheme of things but in addition to being editor in chief her senior year she was also President of her HS audition only theatre production company and was a member all three years of high school. She has also been involved with every play production during high school and has won several UIL awards for acting. She has also been an "extra" for the fox show "Prison Break" and for a series on the Lifetime Network and was also voted Most Talented by her senior class. She also volunteers alot of time at our local church working in the childrens ministry. Again, I don't know if all this matters but hope it might make a small difference.

Thanks again for all the support. I will keep you updated on what happens. Recruitment week is August 21st.

All those things could matter if people in the group appreciate their significance. Will there be people in the groups who know her already?

ETA: I went back to your first post and it sounds like she has good friends in at least one of the groups. If she is above their minimum grade requirement, she may be in good shape. I hope it goes well.

Sadly, you will fall to the bottom of the pile and maybe hope to be one of the few scholaship risks a chapter might take.

Take time to build yourself up. Pledging and being an active takes a LOT of time, and if you couldn't hack going to school and having other responsibilities in HS, then how will you do it in college?

Good luck on your journey.

I agree. Wait a semester so they look at your college GPA. We automatically cut anyone below a 2.8 after first sets because we cannot initiate you without a 2.8. I don't know where your GPA is, but basically we wouldn't be able to consider the explanation -- just the number.
