[B] How strict are GPA requirements?? I had a VERY nice ACT score, and most of my grades are great, but one semester totally threw me off. I have Advanced Placement credits and some other credits I tested for, but my GPA is very pooey. My cumulative is (I think) 2.42. [B}
GPA requirements vary from campus to campus, sorority to sorority....usually expect somewhere between 2.0 & 2.25. Sometimes chapters expect you to have a little higher by the time you initiate and stay active.
[B]Also, I am a Christian, and I've read that a lot of GLOs have close ties with christianity. Is this true? How compatible is living a christian life and committing to a sorority?[B]
From what I know from my GLO and what I have learned on GC, yes, almost all sororities have a Christian or spirtiual base to their rituals and values. Living a Christian life and being in a sorority are very compatible. The values are essentially the same...to be a good person.
[B]This may sound a little shallow...but how much am I financially committing to? Is there any general guideline? Most of the sororities have houses, and I'm sure that will add to it. Do all members pay the same amount whether they live in the house or not? [B]
This varies greatly. I would suggest contacting your campus Panhellenic and ask them.
[B]I know this is a serious time commitment, but is there an average number of hours per week that I can expect? (If I do make it through rush and get a bid)[B]
This depends on the time of the year and how active you are in the sorority. I cannot speak with confidence about any campuses other than my own, so I would suggest asking around on your campus.
Hope this helped a little!
