Depending on the organization, the chapter, and the people in the chapter, it *could* be a good idea to tell a friend in the chapter that you are interested in the organization but are having problems with your grades.

They might do nothing but wish you good luck.

But *some* NPHC chapters have public study hours, tutoring sessions, and other service activities which help everybody acclimate to college. The Alpha Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha, for example, does this sort of programming all the time.

In other words, academic success is often a community affair in NPHC organizations.

As always, the best thing for you to do is to befriend members of the chapter you are interested in so that people who know you can provide the most accurate advice.

And as other posters have said, do everything you can do do raise your grades, also. If your campus has a writing center, make a habit of going. If they have free tutoring, use it.

And my own advice: don't take hard classes if you can help it. It only took one flunked midterm for me to change my major from History to English. It's not that I was afraid of hard work - it's that graduating on time was important to me.

Good luck!
