All else left aside, do you guys think it is wiser to do spring rush as a sophomore at U. of Houston with a GPA between 2.53 and 2.87 at a school with a 2.5 requirement, or is it a better strategy to try for two strong semesters and rush as a junior with hopefully a GPA closer to or above a 3.0? (To get above a 3.0 you need to average 3.8 per semester between this fall and this coming spring.)

I don't think there will be a spring recruitment since all chapters are over total. The DG's (my former chapter) are at 58 and would need to lose at least 4 members before being able to add any new PNMs. I seriously doubt they would hold COB for 1 or 2 spots.

UH recruitment isn't particularly competitive and as long as a PNM meets the minimum requirements and maximizes her options, she would most likely receive a bid. In my opinion, a PNM at UH is more likely to get a bid as an upperclassman than as a grade risk. In all honesty, I do not think a 2.5 would be high enough to make up for junior status, unless the PNM is exceptional in every other way.
