Rushing in Fall...I'd love advice

[KSUViolet06]

LSU is one of those schools with alot of rushees. After the first rounds of parties, the sororities don't know much about the girls, but have to make a cut. Many times, that cut is made by GPA. It's the only thing they have to go on at that point.

I'm going to be honest, you will experience some cuts because of your GPA. But now you know that. So I'd focus on making yourself stronger in other areas like extracurriculars or community service. This might help. It won't guarantee you a bid, but it won't hurt.

Best of luck, and do stick around to share your story!

I know very little about LSU rush, so I'm going to refrain from saying anything in particular about your GPA, because I'm just not that qualified to do so. Regarding Katrina, if someone asks you where you're from, then she herself might ask you about Katrina. I agree with other posters on here who have said that you shouldn't bring it up first, because you don't know what another person's experience with Katrina might have been like. So far, the general consensus on this board seems to be that your GPA will be a factor against you during recruitment. With that in mind, I agree with AlphaFrog that you should still go through, and then if you get cut, you could see if any chapters at your school are participating in COB or informal recruitment.
