If you're rushing as a sophomore, do high school grades matter?

I seriously wouldn't waste another second worrying about this! You're rushing as a second semester freshman with a very good and established college GPA, which overrides high school academics -- unless as I commented earlier, your school really veers from the norm. As someone who has sent a lot of recs to a lot of different schools for a long time, I can say that I've never, ever, EVER known of high school academics mattering when there was a college GPA to look at. And really, why would they? Obviously, with incoming freshmen, there is nothing else to consider, but once you have a college GPA, that's what it's about. Thanks to your hard work and being serious about it, you have something sororities look at with those who are past their first semester -- you've already shown that you can manage college academics. (Incoming freshmen, even those with 4.0's, haven't proven that yet.) As AZTheta said, most PNMs with college hours we hear from are in the opposite boat. Their high school GPA was a shining star, their college GPA not-so-much. As long as your GPA isn't below the minimum for each specific chapter at your school (and since you said it's "very good," I doubt it's below any), sounds to me like you're in good shape as far this goes, so relax, don't mention it during recruitment, enjoy the process and all the best at finding your home!
