Perhaps you could contact the Greek Life or Panhellenic Office on your campus and ask? Perhaps you could call, be super polite, and make a friend there -- hopefully they will understand your desire to be accurate and submit the most favorable GPA possible.

No, we are not being sarcastic (this time), we are sincere. Call Greek Life. And try to relax a little!

I was going to contact them later today and ask them, while I would love the higher GPA to be the correct one, the other one isn't that bad. I just want to be 100000% accurate.

No! We aren't being sarcastic -- I just included the be "super polite" part because sometimes that can go a long way toward the person on the other end going the extra mile to help you.

Same reason it pays to always acknowledge the busy office staff in the department of your major (and bake them cookies occasionally). They really do know how to help with corrections and computer issues signing up for classes and such. Especially if they know and like you.

Could not agree more with this. I work in a college and while I know students often feel like they're just a number, for the most part, the people who work as advisors/counselors/support staff are really hard working and want to help students and they are just understaffed and can't do all they want to help. They are much more likely to help you out in a bind if you've been nice to them all along--same goes in the "adult" world too. Good luck!

Preach it. I am a travel agent and I counsel people all the time to be nice, painfully sticky sweet nice to everyone they encounter at the airport and in hotels. One such example, my husband was in the midst of travel hell (that he brought on himself but that's a different story) and was standing in line to be booked onto a new flight. The counter agents were dealing with a group of real douche canoes and one of the agents tells my husband to step aside. He was confused but did as asked. When the DCs were gone she said, there's one seat left on that flight, and she'd held it for him, but didn't want to tell him in front of the others. And on this same topic, especially when traveling on business ALWAYS enter and exit the hotel through the front and chat with the front desk crew. There is always an extra room hiding in the hotel somewhere and if you need it (snowed in in Milwaukee in January after he'd checked out of the hotel), they can magically make it appear. So back to the original subject BE NICE. It will pay off.

This is how upgrades happen, too. They are almost non-existent on flights these days, but hotels can very often bump you into a suite.
