UPDATE:
I went through formal recruitment this past weekend and was cut the first day due to my academics from high school.

What??? I thought the issue was that formal rush had already occurred and the colony was the only option available until next fall. :confused:

Oh, my - we overlooked the obvious. Your HS GPA is all that the chapters have to go on, regardless of your age.

And I'm pretty confused as well about the timing, unless you mean you went through formal recruitment for the Pi Beta Phi colony?

There use to be a semi structured informal recruitment in January, hopefully if you are getting good grades at WSU, the sororities will only look at your WSU grades.
Good Luck

Yea, I did too...

Unless, as AZTheta said, she's referring to the Pi Phi colonization recruitment process as "formal"..

I'm sorry, Pi Phi's "formal recruitment" or their colonization process was this past weekend.

And yes, you hit it right on the nail. My cumulative GPA from high school was a 2.5, one of the big reasons why I waited to go to college until I was ready. I thought they'd be looking at my midterm grades which are great- not my D's and F's from three years ago. :(

OK, then. You have to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and focus on getting awesome grades this semester. And working on the other stuff you've identified, too. Wishing you good luck. It's a steep climb, but if you put one foot in front of the other, you will move forward.

Thank you so much! :D I was already working hard on my grades but this just motivated me even more! Lol
