I would definitely explain to the girls WHY you're rushing so late and WHY your gpa isn't stellar. Also tell them how you've been working to improve it. Talking to chapters during recruitment gives you the opportunity to explain yourself rather than the chapter just seeing a class standing and gpa on a piece of paper and having to base their decision off that.
Just be yourself and try really hard to make a connection with the girls you meet. As long as you can sell yourself to one house, you should be fine. If a chapter really really wants you, they will look beyond things like that!
If you want any recruitment tips or more general advice on Greek life, you should check out my blog  I post a lot about my sorority experience on there. |
STOP IT. You really do not have to interject your opinion and SPAM on every thread.
You have extremly limited experience in your sorority on a single campus. You haven't even been an initiated member for long. You know nothing of what rush is like at places like Ole Miss or Alabama or even University of Texas. Rush at Texas Tech is like the "lite" version of larger Greek systems. You are young & enthusiastic about your sorority. We get that. It would be a good idea to read some threads here before posting all of your advice.
