I'm wondering what school this could possibly be because, as jesssigkap mentioned, 2.2 seems very low for SEC. Of course, adpiucf is absolutely right that taking a girl with the minimum is rare... why take a girl with the bare minimum when there are PNMs with much higher? OP, I'm not trying to guess where you're going; please don't think I'm asking you to tell us.
Here's what's available online for the SEC schools. It seems a lot of schools don't post an "official" required GPA. I wonder how this could hurt PNMs who don't know how much a low GPA could hurt them?
Alabama - none listed. Bama is known for having one of the most competitive recruitments, though, so even if a PNM can register with any GPA a low GPA would equal an early cut (although they don't list official chapter minimums on the site).
Arkansas - 2.5 required to participate.
Auburn - none listed. Site specifically states that PNMs with GPAs below a 3.0 will be unlikely to receive bids.
Florida - none listed, but UF has become very hard to get into... it would be rare to get into UF with a 2.5!
Georgia - none listed, but it's also very hard to get into UGA... it would be rare to get in with a 2.5 high school GPA.
Kentucky - no official GPA required to participate, but in recruitment info they list 2.8 as required for one house and 3.0 for all the others.
LSU - 2.75 required to participate.
Ole Miss - no official GPA required to participate, but in recruitment info they list chapter requirements between 2.6 and 3.0.
Miss State - 2.0 required for upperclassmen, nothing listed for underclassmen. Chapter GPAs are much higher.
South Carolina - none listed, but chapter GPAs are all very high (most above 3.3), so I can't imagine anyone taking a grade risk.
Tennessee - none listed, but FAQs mention that the average sorority member has a 3.1 GPA so it can be assumed that similar qualifications are expected from PNMs.
Vanderbilt - Deferred recruitment (no GPA listed), but I can't imagine someone with a 2.5 getting into Vandy.
