Another thing: My mother, who was in a sorority at my school back in the mid 80's, keeps telling me that the chapters "know freshman year is hard for some" and "will be sympathetic because of it". I want to listen to her, but my mind raises a red flag at sympathy from the houses because this is a competitive school where Greek Life is HUGE. I doubt they show much sympathy to someone who's GPA dropped 1.0 point from high school to college, but I don't want to argue against my mom.

I would also like to add that recruitment is incredibly different from when us Mom's went through in the 80's and a lot more competitive.
I think you need to go into recruitment with the mindset that 3 Chapters have a 2.7 GPA requirement from college. Think of a recommendation as a letter of introduction. It
MIGHT get you an invite into set 2 but I think your GPA will hold more weight then the recommendation. Just my opinion.
Good luck to you. Maybe one of those 3 house or all will be your favorites and you will find your home.
