Clemson Transfer
 

Hi all,

I am transferring to Clemson next year (my soph. year). I have been looking into joining a sorority but really don't know much about Clemson's greek life. Are they as competitive as some of the SEC schools? Should I try to get recs? Thanks in advance

I think you would do well to search some of the threads regarding sophomore pnm's and their experience/ advice offered, etc. Actually, any pnm advice offered will apply to you more than likely.

Co-sign.

Others have advised (correctly) about recs. If you're interested in seeing fairly recent GPAs for Clemson Greeks, you can check out this :

The info about GPAs might give some insight into at least the general GPA range that sororities there would be looking for.

thanks so much for the GPA info i got a 3.1 my 1st semester and am looking at a 3.80 finishing up this semester. That info was somewhat reassuring. I like how they post avg GPAs with the sorority. From what I have read on other posts it seems like having low grades is a big reason why it is harder for sophomores get a bid. Do they look at H.S grades as well?

This confuses me, and since my campus does deferred recruitment, this issue doesn't come up. I can't imagine a sophomore with a college GPA being compared to a freshman with a high school GPA! It's comparing apples to oranges. Are sophomores' college GPAs compared separately from the freshmen's high school GPAs? For example, a 3.5 is pretty darn good for a college GPA, but much less impressive for a high school GPA.

hey, NoVaTiger, i think i'm transferring there next year too! i was wondering the same thing... i want to do a sorority but looking at the competitiveness is intimidating me and making me nervous!!

where are you transferring from?

Fixed that for ya. :)

Thanks Sandy!

Maybe she does want to "do" a sorority. You never know.

Ditto that!
