I was also going to ask the people who are writing recs for me to include it because it is the truth and they should know. Do you think sororities would take that into consideration if I had recs and if they liked me or should I expect to be cut from the ones I don't make. Is it common for chapters to take maybe one or two grade risks per pledge class or are most usually cut?(disclaimer...not asking any ritual info about chapter) At the school I will be rushing at, I am well above the minimum GPA but am .02 away from most chapters listed GPA requirement. Just thought I would ask someones opinion...

Your rec writers can include it, but probably won't make a difference. Sorry to be blunt, but if you're an upperclassman w/ a lower GPA, just know that there will be at least 50 other sophs/juniors with a higher GPA... Plus, the chapter already has their own risks with initiated members who have lower GPAs.
But if you have major activities - such as varsity cheerleading or dance squad or theater (in college, not high school) - that might have some bearing.
