Amalia17,

Congratulations on your GPA; it is something to take pride in! Having said that, I would advise you NOT to bring it up in conversations during COB. If it's on your form for recruitment, the sorority chapters will know about it. Some people -- rightly or wrongly -- feel intimidated by other people who have high grades. You don't want to unintentionally scare people away -- you want to give them every chance to like you.

Are good grades something that sororities look for? Yes, and some individual chapters emphasize academics more than others. An excellent GPA is a plus, but not the sole factor in considering whether someone would be chosen as a new member.

Now, of course if someone __asks__ or mentions your GPA, you can certainly acknowledge it, but you probably shouldn't dwell on it.

Wishing you the very best in recruitment, and I hope some other GCers will share their views about your question.
