There may be sisters who think that it's lame to blame a low GPA on ADD. There are likely sisters of chapters who are themselves diagnosed with ADD and have been successful academically. Using a disability or medical condition as a crutch is looked down upon by a lot of people.

If you're entering school as a freshman with a 2.5 from high school, where, if your ADD is serious enough you likely had learning support, then you're really going to be overshadowed by the rest of the freshman with more stellar grades. How can a chapter expect you to exceed academically in college without that additional support?

If your ADD wasn't serious to have learning support in high school, then how can you use it as an excuse for poor grades now?

Another thing to think about is do you want to reveal a personal piece of information like that to that many people? There may be chapters (right or wrong) who would cut you for having ADD because they wouldn't want to have to deal with it.
