I would recommend checking out the other thread going on right now called GPA Requirements. Most of what is said there would also apply to you, even though the poster in question there is a current college student.

I'm not going to lie. 2.74 High School GPA is far from stellar and is likely going to hurt you. If that were your college GPA, that wouldn't be as bad, but HS GPA is usually looked at to be higher. That being said, if you got into LSU you obviously had other things going for you (SAT, special circumstances, etc. etc.).

But I would honestly say that you have a very good chance of getting severely cut because of your GPA. I think that a sorority in question, and even many of us reading this (including myself) would question whether you could handle the academic rigours of college while joining a sorority, when you have a low HS GPA like that.

Good for you on getting all of your recs, and getting them secured early! Sorry this isn't a happier response, but it's an honest on. You may have made some mistakes in HS, but you're going to have to work hard to get past them. Good luck, but be prepared.
