YES.

There are schools at which quota is like, 7 and chapters still release women for grades because they are required to do so. As in, they will release you the first day because they cannot extend you a bid.

Keep in mind that if you are coming into recruitment straight out of HS (incoming freshman), the GPA requirement is at times higher.

Example: There are chapters at which the required GPA for non-freshmen is 2.75, but incoming freshmen must have a 3.2.

Yes, yes, yes, a thousand times yes! Of the chapters I have worked with, the HS gpa requirement was higher than returning or transfer students. So keep that in mind if things don't work out for you freshmen year. No matter what, work on your grades in college, and join one or two campus organizations.
