It seems to me that minimum GPAs for rush are set ridiculously low so most people don't feel left out from rushing and are allowed to go through even if they have no chance of getting a bid with a GPA that no one is going to take. Even if the chapters at your school have published minimum GPAs that are less than what you have right now, it doesn't mean that that is what they will take.
You should probably spend some time getting used to being at your college and studying and making sure you can get a decent GPA before you rush because being in a sorority is very time consuming and can be very distracting!

That makes a lot of sense. That's why I was asking. I'm not trying to "game the system" or anything, I'm honestly just curious. I'm not too worried about my GPA. I have a cumulative 2.7 but my GPA for this current semester is a 4.0 and that will raise my cumulative even higher once this semester is over. If I do not receive a bid because of my GPA, then I'll just increase it and re-rush.
