Example: Random University Panhellenic says that the minmum requirement to rush is a 2.50. Random University has 3 chapters. Their CHAPTER requirements are as follows:
XYZ = 2.75
ABC= 2.80
BBB= 2. 85
Let's say Patty PNM has a 2.5 and she asks Greek Advisor whether her GPA is high enough to participate.
Greek Advisor is going to say "yes of course you can" because she meets the Panhellenic minimum that was set. So she CAN go through recruitment, but is likely not going to end up with a bid because her GPA is still too low to be considered by a chapter.
Not saying that this is the case for the OP, but just throwing that out there.

That often happened on our campus, but I assumed it was because grade risks got bids often enough to warrant them still at least trying to go through recruitment. Surely the advisor would tell her? But good point...so to the OP add KSU's suggestion to the list and ask if your GPA meets the minimum of the chapters, too, and not just the council's minimum.
