Little White Lies?

Ok so I have a question regarding fall recruitment...I am from the West Coast and am moving to the East Coast this year...while in the west I went through recruitment as a freshman, I didn't get the sorority I had hoped for. I went ahead with the pledge process but dropped before initiation. Also, I didn't do so well in my classes and ended up with a 0.8 GPA. My question is, I have to register for recruitment process over here and didn't list that I was previously a pledge to another chapter. Will they be able to find out that I lied? Like I said, I never initiated to that sorority. Also, no GPA minimum was listed on the registration nor on the website, so will my low GPA hurt me?

If you made a .8 GPA last year I would not be rushing as a sophomore. You need to focus on school before you add anything else to your plate.

FYI, just because your SCHOOL doesn't list a GPA requirement, doesn't mean there isn't one.

Each chapter has a minimum of their own that PNMs have to have in order to get a bid.

With a .8 you are probs not getting a bid. The lowest min is probably a 2.5.

No you can't lie about your grades. They look it up.

No they're not going to make an exception for you.

No, there's no secret loophole.

No, I'm not like "omg so meannnnnn."

I covered all of your possible responses to this.

You need to get a bid to the library and pledge studying.

Good luck.

LOL, I was about to say KSUVioletITY? I guess you changed your font color to make sure no one confused you with the OP.

I don't presume to know every college's regulations, but wouldn't you be on some sort of probation as a transfer with a 0.8 GPA?

I'm actually posting from my BB and it's too hard to be pink on it because I have to type the code in for it. I'm lazy lol.

LOL. I wouldn't be caught dead in Comic Sans.

Every time someone types in Comic Sans, my soul dies.

Just a quick question: (and I'm not being snarky) What school, other than a cc would admit a student with a D minus average? I believe in second chances..but this isn't computing.

And while you obviously should be concentrating on school work first your AGE might make you a sophomore. Perhaps your school is different, but an .08 gpa would indicate that you received an F or two. I don't think that you get credit for failed classes. So, I would think that you still would be a freshman.

I was thinking the same.

I smell troll.

However, with the benefit of doubt, yeah, a sorority should be the least of your worries if you got a 0.8. Work on that GPA.

One of the things Greek Life organizations tend to value is academics. Focus on getting a solid footing in college and ensuring your ability to graduate before worrying about the other stuff.

well it isn't that large of a university, so i got accepted in on academic probation or something of the sort. meaning i pretty much just have to do better. and its not a matter of me needing to focus on grades. i had a 3.8 in high school and did outstanding in other aspects of acdemics. i just didnt focus much last year.
