I am going to be a sophomore in college, and currently, I'm not in a sorority. My university's GPA requirement is a 2.5. I never rushed first semester of my freshman year, when I entered college with a high school GPA of a 3.5. My first semester of college, I earned a 2.6, then I decided I wanted to join a sorority.

Three sororities on my campus participated in spring recruitment, so I decided to participate in recruitment for all three. I got offered a bid from one, which I declined. Some friends in sororities from my campus and other schools told me to wait until fall so I'd have more options, so I dropped recruitment from the third sorority, which I really liked (I explained to them that I wanted to wait until the fall). My GPA second semester was not much better from first semester, but it's still better than the university requirements.

I am going through with fall recruitment this year, and I was wondering if GPA was a bigger deal than spring recruitment...will it affect me more since more girls will be rushing? Also, any advice on what to expect, etc. during fall recruitment? I'm nervous but excited!
