All of the chapters require a 3.0 unweighted GPA to join but no minimum GPA to participate in recruitment, and they only calculate GPA’s from grades 9-12. They sent me an email saying I have a 2.8 unweighted GPA from grades 9-11 and told me my experience will not be enjoyable because I don’t adhere to the chapters' minimum academic standards, but they said I can fax my senior year grades, which is a 3.3 weighted and 3.1 unweighted so they can revise the GPA they have on file, but I don’t know if that would change my overall GPA significantly. I was wondering if it would be worth it to go thru rush and just try and or just wait until sophomore year until I obtain a college GPA or do spring rush? I didn’t know from the beginning that they only took unweighted GPA’s, I thought it was weighted because my overall high school weighted GPA is over 3.0..

I took a lot of honors and AP classes, so that boosted my GPA. Sophomore year I did really badly because I was put into hard classes and couldn’t handle the work load, and that really affected my GPA. That was also the only year where my GPA was below a 3.0.They said I can write a letter to them if experienced extenuating circumstances that have significantly affected my GPA, but I don’t know if that would fit into that category.
Thank you so much for your opinions!
