I panicked a little when I read my school requirements for rush: "it is recommended that all new member classes and all subsequent qualified
members achieve an overall qualified member grade point average (GPA) of
2.75 or higher" in the Statement of Expectation for Greek life on my campus. My high school GPA was a 3.49, and even then, I was very involved in extracurricular activities. Although I had a good high school GPA and I am very involved, would I be kicked out of rush (or something along those lines) with my current GPA? Or am I just worrying too much?

So...let me get this straight:
a.) You are going in as a Sophmore (it only gets harder from here on out)
b.) You have a 2.64 GPA (recruitment needing at least a 2.5 GPA)
c.) You turned down a bid to a sisterhood that saw beyond your HORRIBLE (yes--HORRIBLE) GPA because they "hand out bids to everyone"
d.) The Statement of Expectation expresses interest in all students maintaining a 2.75 GPA and you have a 2.64 GPA
Is this all right? So, you just BARELY meet the requirements and you are a sophmore (meaning it doesn't exactly get much easier from here on out). You are a major grade risk who thinks that being involved on and off campus should make up for such bad grades coupled with being a legacy to one of the chapters on campus? Ummm....yeah--Good luck with that, sweetheart!
As my NPC sister said earlier, you should go and "pledge the library" and stop wasting the time of my other NPC sisters by going through recruitment and thinking you deserve so much better than you actually do. You'd be lucky (especially with those statistics) to be a member of ANY of the NPC sororities on campus but, you think you are too good. Get over yourself!
