A Fresh Start

Trying to clarify something...

Are you planning to go through recruitment at a different school than the one your bad grades are from?

If you will be attending that school for the first time, you may want to clarify how your GPA for purposes of recruitment will be calculated. Many universities start you off with a clean slate as a transfer - you get credit for the hours you passed at your previous institution, but the grades themselves don't calculate into your GPA. (That said, Panhellenic may still ask you to report your GPA from your previous school even though the university doesn't use it in its calculations.) Its definitely worth inquiring about though - at least you'd know what you're getting into, and it would help you decide whether or not to sign up for recruitment.

*Depending on the way your new school calculates tranfer GPAs, your grades may be a concern. Individual sororities have minimum GPA requirments that you must meet in order to be extended a bid. These requirements are set by the national headquarters of each sorority, so it's something that they do have to follow.

*Unless you know someone personally from the school who is in a sorority, I wouldn't go SEEKING out sorority girls from there just to ask them about rush. That might seem a odd.
