UCF is a competitive recruitment and I just don't see houses making GPA exceptions alot. The top GPA chapters won't want to take someone that will bring down their GPA, and the middle and lower GPA chapters probably want their GPA to improve, so they wouldn't be looking to make exceptioons either.

Very true. Even at my small rush, not-very-competitive school, GPA exceptions were rare. We had maybe a few (we won grades frequently so we weren't SUPER concerned usually) during my 3 years active. And I believe that some groups have to request special permission in order to invite GPA risks to pref.
A high GPA can make you stand out and can only be a benefit. A low GPA can and will hurt you. Some groups may just make a straight cut, right off the bat, of women below their grade averages. Especially at a competitive school with tons of great women rushing, initial cuts have to be made somehow. GPA isn't something that's going to change once other sisters meet a girl.
