They didn't realize the mistake until it had already hurt my GPA. I have a 2.9 and the sororities want at least a 3.
I've tried really hard to bring it up but the grades from the mistake ruined it. I scored a 31 on the ACT though...
My resume is really long with pageants, mission trips, internships, being the news anchor at school as well as a lot of community involvement and speaking 3 languages fluently. Will all of that along with Rec's be able to save me where I won't get cut and have a chance to prove myself? Thanks!
Truthfully, we cannot say what will "save you". Contact the Office of Greek Life at the school you'll be attending. Work with your present school administration, if you think that will make a difference.

Bottom line: from the facts you reported, you can expect heavy cuts based on the 2.9 GPA. Your competition will be far above that GPA.
