It's been my experience that sororities don't usually take grade risks. In fact, at some schools, the first cuts are made solely based on GPA.

I'm going to be really honest with you, hopefully you can appreciate it:

Grade risks are extremely rare. You said something about maybe there being one or 2 in a pledge class. I was an active for 3 years and in all three recruitments, I saw ONE grade risk get a bid.

In short, unless you have a compelling reason for not having the grades AND are STELLAR in all other areas (campus involvement, etc), you can expect to be cut.

For example: Becky was in a really bad car accident so she ended up having to miss alot of school for therapy appointments, so she has a 2.49, BUT she is Student Government president, Miss KSU 2006, and president of Habitat for Humanity. In addition, she has spent the last 3 summers volunteering at an Indian orphanage.
