I'd be more concerned with the chapter minimums. Chapters CAN go below their chapter minimums but not below their national minimums, but it's VERY rare. Don't bank on being that special.
There are at least four minimums for GPA which I've heard of:
-The GLO's headquarters' minimum
-The Chapter's minimum
-The Panhellenic minimum
and
-The Freshmand minimum (established by a chapter)
Ours was:
-2.75
-2.75
-2.5
-3.0
It's been a while since I've seen a freshman cut for grades, but IMHO, any decent college or university should ask for at least a 3.0 out of high school.
