I'm especially embarrassed, I don't want the girls to think I'm not smart. How do you think they will judge me?

What should I expect? How does this process work?
Has this happened to you? What was it like?
ALSO, I'm sure the word will spread around, but does someone make an announcement to everyone about it? Do I still have to go to meetings with the council monthly to talk about it?

**The GPA requirement is a 2.5, I have a 2.4. Do you think there is any way they will let me still be active? The reason why it is so low is because I was in the wrong major and I transferred.


Thank you!!
Really, if you're inactive, I'm SURE all your sisters will know (I mean, we always knew when people were inactive or had received sanctions for grades) whether there is an announcement or not.

I wouldn't bank on them bending the GPA rule to let you stay active. Generally speaking, rules are rules and if that's policy, it wouldn't be fair for it to be bent just for you.

I don't know if they'll judge you. They may, because they're human and not above being judgmental. Especially if you're in a chapter where most women have high GPAs.

Of course people are going to bond without you being there. I'm not being mean, but the sorority does not stop when you're inactive. People are going to do things without you and become close. People might not ask you to hang out as much, just because you're not around and people tend to hang out most with people who are actually there. You can't blame them.

Not being rude, but feeling left out is part of being inactive. If you wanted to be super involved and hang out with people all the time, you should've made grades.

Good luck!
