Regarding my GPA:
It sucks for a reason. Maybe not a good one, but one nonetheless. I dropped out of school a few years ago (yes I know, I'm an idiot). I started working full-time and eventually re-enrolled, but my priorities were still all messed up. Work came first, and my straight C's reflected that. When I had enough units to transfer, I promised myself school would always be my number one priority from then on. So I quit my job and now work part-time as an intern. I haven't gotten lower than a B- the past 2 quarters (and hopefully this one too), and my GPA has gone up almost 0.3 points. I know I still have some work to do, but I'm getting there sloooowly. The main reason I became interested in sororities is so I could be around people who share similar goals as myself. Pretty much all of my friends/family never went to college, aren't planning to go, dropped out, etc. Don't get me wrong, I love them all, but I really want to surround myself with people who will support me and understand that I want something better for myself. And with that, hopefully I can continue to do well in school, maybe even better.
Anyways, thanks to everyone who responded. I really appreciate it. Even if I don't get a bid because of my grades, I'll be satisfied with knowing I tried. And If you have anything else to add, feel free to because rush isn't until October.
Thanks again!
