[QUOTE=Senusret I;1890861]So many things!
Technically speaking, if your school has set those rules, then there's nothing you can do except apply anyway and see if an exception is made (like you said).
But honey, you have to understand that a 2.0 is a very bad GPA, even for one off semester, and that even if you were to rush and get selected, becoming a member won't erase the bad GPA. You have to work hard to get your grades up.
Not rushing won't kill you. Rushing and not getting selected because of a low GPA -- well, wouldn't that be more embarrassing than not rushing? Do you want to be known as the girl who didn't follow directions and rushed with a bad GPA?
And yes, I have heard of cases where girls and guys pursued membership and slid right on in with a GPA which was low, or a missing community service letter, or any number of credentials that were iffy. But you know what? Those men and women had a special something that the chapter wanted. I can't tell you what that special something is, but I can tell you that if you have to ask on a message board for advice, you probably don't have it.
Befriend the members. Get your grades up. Try another time. That's what I would tell my own daughter if I had one; that's what I would tell my friends.
And unlike NPC sororities, for NPHC organizations there are ALWAYS graduate/alumni/ae chapters.
Thanks for the info, but why when someone ask as simple question...they are knocked. Just to clear it up, first of all...you don't know what I have. FYI, I don't think...i KNOW that i would make a great soror for the organization i am trying to join. I have always had great grades, and my GPA has been up. Last semester just kind of hit me hard...but what can i do. So, if i get turned down this semester because of my grades...so be it. I will be back whenever they rush again, because i know that this is for me. Anyways, i told myself that...it doesn't hurt to try and see what happens. It would hurt to not try, and wonder what could have been.
