I've always told PNMs that if your GPA is below the LOWEST chapter minimum, then you shouldn't go through recruitment. I tend to think that you should not count on a chapter taking a grade risk. It was a rarity when I was in school (and probably doesn't happen alot now.)

I always told them not to expect much if they were below the lowest required GPA, too, but the powers that be felt differently. And I guess when it's a recruitment like ours, it can't hurt to go through recruitment, even if you can't get a bid. It's laid back and doesn't take up a lot of time, and then you've at least met some of the girls and have a better foot hold if you want to COB later when your college grades are in. But they weren't told that in context of "You probably won't get a bid". Which irritates me...myself and other recruitment counselors did often tell girls in that situation they probably weren't going to get a bid, so going through was up to them. Never fails, though, grade risks do get bids every year on our campus.
