First off, I'm a Sophomore with a 2.6 GPA (I had a very rough freshman year). I went through recruitment my Freshman year and was dropped because my grades were too low. So I took a bunch of summer classes and then rushed again at the beginning of this year with a 2.2 GPA. I was given a snap bid by a sorority that 2 of my closest friends had just disaffiliated with due to a scandal (and I didn't click with any of the girls there... I was dropped by them on the first day!)

Anyway, I am a determined girl. Most of my friends are in the Greek system and I'm constantly at my friends sorority functions, the occasional dinner, etc. I know that I would be a good fit in the Greek life at my school, and I want to rush a third time.

I understand that this could be looked down upon, but I'm wondering - would this look bad? I have many connections at our sororities that I've made since the last time I rushed, but I'm scared to look desperate.

Could anyone give me some advice or share their viewpoint?
Thank you so much!

I'm going to be a little honest here, hopefully it is something you can appreciate:

Third time is usually not the charm, in terms of recruitment. At most schools, a girl who is dropped, declines a bid, and rushes again is not going to fare well a 3rd time.

Also, I do not know how high the minimum GPA requirements are on your campus, but a 2.6 is not highly impressive. Yes, I know you have friends in chapters, but that typically is not going to compensate for a 2.6.

I'd be prepared to not receive a bid.

You are certainly allowed to do what you please, however. Good luck to you.
