Carolinablue01,
First of all, although you directed the question at members, I felt compelled to post; and I am NOT a member (but hey it's a free country, right?) To answer your question--GO. If you are truly interested in joining the organization, you should go to the interest meeting. You will not get close to getting in if you don't go. Just sounds like you need a little support.....
Second, I believe (and this is just my opinion) that certain school chapters have different (usually higher) gpa requirements than the national requirement because those chapters might be trying to win a "chapter of the year" award at regional or national conventions. (just my opinion). At my school, they told them what nationals required, then took women with really, really high gpas, and won some type of award at their convention. Or they might just be trying to raise the level of the chapter as a whole. Chapters have the right to do it, but that doesn't mean you should not go to the meeting. Prepare yourself and offer them the best 'you' that you have.
And if at first you don't succeed.........
Good luck!
and Happy Holidays everyone!
BTW, no disrespect to anyone who comes across this post, and if anyone feels disrespected by anything said, you have my apologies in advance. God Bless!
