I'm a recruitment advisor and, speaking from my own personal experience, most/all grade risks are immediately cut. With recruitment as competitive as it is, chapters have the ability to be selective. Keep in mind that the posted requirements are just a jumping off point. Many chapters choose to raise their GPA requirements for a particular recruitment in order to boost the overall chapter GPA and thin out their numbers more quickly.

All of this being said, there are always exceptions and girls who squeak by, but they are the exception-not the standard. There are so many gray areas of recruitment and grades are really the one big black and white.

Depends on if the groups on your campus really stick to the grade requirements. I know that with chapters I've worked with, you don't have the grades, no matter how close, you're more than likely to get cut. When you're working with release figures, and it comes time to cut your list, it's the first reason for someone to go.

Is there any chance of you taking some units during summer school and bringing that GPA up over the minimum?

To my understanding, a "grade risk" is a girl whose GPA hovers right at or above the minimum (and thus could fall at any time). I believe that minimums are pretty much set in stone.
