Many of the houses that I like and see myself being in have a minumum of 2.8, so thats alright. But one specific house that is pretty much my first choice requires a 3.0 as a sophomore.
Would it be possible for me to miraculously get a bid from that house at all, despite the fact that I'd be 0.1 under their cut-off? I plan to get recs , and I'm cool with one girl who is already in that house, if that helps. I've heard stories of girls who didn't make grades and still got bids so i'm not sure. Also, I don't know if it will help or hurt , but the NPC houses at my school are predominantly white but I'm a minority (I just don't want to be in an NPHC house b/c at my school they're really small and lame)

Damn. I suggest you edit out that last parenthesized line.
Don't rule out a particular organization(s) just because they might be "small" or "lame," there have been people who have entered struggling chapters and made a big impact on them.
Also, "lame" is very subjective. It may be you just haven't had enough exposure to all organizations. Just keep your options open and an open-mind, especially if you go through with NPC Rush. Because that one house that you're nuts about could turn out to be less than you expected.
