Recruitment Advice

[Titchou]

Your GPA is a detriment at most schools. Your class standing may or may not be. There's no way for us to know. You might check with your school to see if they have a separate upperclass quota. If they don't, that and your GPA will probably not be a positive for you. If they do have an UC quota, you may squeak by but it owuld most likely be difficult. Now, as to whether you should do either method of recruitment is totally up to you and should be based on whether or not you could handle the rejection. Getting your GPA up to a more acceptable 3.0 for an upperclassman is virtually impossible so I think you are pretty stuck around your current level and the decision should be based on that.

Thank you for your reply, Titchou. I emailed Greek Life back about the quota and GPA. The reply I received is there is no upperclass quota so the chapters make the determination on if they want upperclass women and how many and varies year to year. Students with all GPAs have been placed before. The sororities typically look for students with at least a 2.5 but students below that GPA, while they have less options, may receive a bid. I guess since my school is mainly a commuter school, recruitment is different than the major school I transferred from. I just wasn't sure on what to do as I'd never heard of a school with no minimum GPA to participate! Again, thank you!
