Grades

[WhiteDaisy128]

Okay, I'll try to make this easy...

At the university, students must have a 2.0 to RUSH period (because any lower and you probably should spend more time studying anyway).

ABC, DE, and FGH all require 2.0's to "pledge"

IJ, KL, MNO, and PQ all require 2.5's to "pledge"

and RST and UV require a 3.0 to "pledge"

Usually, that minimum is the whole sorority min (all sisters must maintain at least that GPA to stay in good standing).

So if you had a 2.55 GPA and you wanted to RUSH, you would automatically be dropped form RST and UV because your GPA isn't high enough. And IJ, KL, MNO, and PQ might take a close look at you to figure out if they can risk taking you since usually the first semester in a sorority isn't the best for one's grades...but they can take you if they want because you do meet the requirement.

Remember, sororities compete for highest GPA on campus...I know at my school at least it's very competitive!! We love to have bragging rights about best grades (which right now DG does!! yay!).

Also, to my understanding, each chapter can set whatever minimum they want, as long as it is or is above the national set one. For example, DG nationally requires a 2.5 to "pledge", but at my chapter, if you are coming from High School we require a 3.0 high school GPA, or a 2.5 University GPA.

Just by the way, our chapters average GPA is right around a 3.2 (last semester).
