Disclaimer:
Grades are extremely important and there are unfortunate circumstances where students don't reach their maximum potential (i.e. family problems, illness, depression, etc.). There are also circumstances that are completely within the student's control (i.e. laziness). The key is to address these issues and reach a better YOU so that you can hopefully reach membership in a frat.  A lot of people have to wait to pursue membership or don't get accepted the first time(s) they try. There's a reason why NPHC orgs don't restrict applications on the basis of year in college and age during and post-college. Just know that your GPA will still be a factor if you wait a couple of years and pursue graduate/alumni membership. Good luck.

Not in SGRho. If the transcript does not report a cumulative 2.5 or better, it's not going down. As it is, a 2.5 is nothing to write home about, which is why there are instances where a chapter may get permission/approval to raise the GPA beyond a 2.5.
