I have made great grades in the past, i just had a rough semester in fall09...which they will see on my transcipt that i can make better grades. I can't sleep at night, wondering if i will be able to pledge this semester of spr10. I have waited long enough, and it's going to kill me if i can't RUSH this semester. What do yall think? Me personally, i think that many of the sorors who are already in didn't meet certain requirements were still taken in anyways, but then again i could be wrong. IDK, just please let me know what yall think...and know about joining a soror under these conditions. Oh, and will they be looking at my grades from fall09 or spr10...if the RUSH is this semester. (spr10)

If you are still lurking around, I doubt seriously the sororities will see your GPA/grades from previous semesters. They will most likely see your current overall GPA and class standing and make decisions based on that, but I'm NPC not NPHC so I could be wrong.

Some NPHC orgs require an official transcript. This formally allows them to see the cumulative GPA, credit hours, and enrollment verification.

It also allows them to look at the grades and GPA from previous semesters, as well as courses and major/minor. Applicants need to remember that an invitation to membership is not a guarantee with minimum requirements. What sets applicants above the rest is based on a number of factors. Depending on what those making the decisions choose to address, it can partially be based on what else is on the official transcript.
