Dear AmandaMarie:
Answers to your questions:
1) Weight: Sad to say, but some houses really do care a lot about appearances, and won't take 'big girls'. We have a house on campus that won't take a girl above a size 6, and prefers their girls in the 2-4 range, sick, I know...but that's just the way they are. IF they are this way, you wouln't want to be apart of their hosue anyhow. You want to go to a house that will love you for who you are, and not what you look like. They should be looking for what you have on the inside, not on the outside. Shine, be yourself, and you will be fine.
2) GPA: Most houses don't care what your GPA is, as long as it's above a 2.0. When you rush, you are required to give your most recent grades and GPA, PanHell does a screen just to make sure you've made the cut. If sororities discriminated based upon grades, half the houses would be empty! We like to have high GPA's, but wouldn't drop someone solely on their lack luster academic performance.
