I have a 2.45 GPA. The requirement is 2.5. Will they let me in?

Holy. Fucking. Shit.

I get into work this morning, bring up GC, and I see 12 pages... I figure it must be an old and revived thread... nope. People (ahem OP/troll/whatever) are nuts.

Nah, it's just the OP/troll I was referring to. Just... I have no words. Such drama for a Wednesday morning. I'm glad it came on a morning where I'm super bored!

So, what classes are you taking this summer? I can't imagine a school that hasn't already started summer sessions already.

Also, since it wasn't already mentioned, even IF:
the Office of Greek Life were to allow you to go through recruitment, AND
you took 7 credits* this summer and got As to raise your GPA to 2.45, AND
truly every collegian in said fave sorority wanted to give you a bid, the recruitment advisor/chapter advisor should enforce the national GPA requirement to join.

*I call bullshit on the 7 credit rule. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to take 8, though, you claim you need 9. Summer sessions come in two parts, so why wouldn't you be able to take 4 credits in each session?

Check into on-line or correspondence courses.

I know its been a minute since I've been at school, but umm usually when the credits transfer the bad grade you got is removed from your gpa. You won't get the grade, but the bad grade you had doesn't count against your GPA.

Now I could be wrong, but that's how it worked for me.

Wasn't even that she needed the full 9 credits, not the allowable 7 credits, WITH the 4.0 in all, to even make it up to 2.45?

Also, at my school, summer sessions did not come in two parts. I took summer classes one summer to make up some I had lost via transferring. There was only one session and while I'm not sure what the full class-load was, I took 2. I am 99% sure that that was the limit.

Well, shit, that .05 makes all the difference. *insert sarcasm here*

Listen, I'm really sorry, but there is little point to you coming back to argue whatever point you thought you had. Your grades suck, and even if you do the whole summer school for however-many credits and did perfectly, your grades would still suck. We don't know what school you're in, whether or not anyone would bend the rules or not, etc. If you want, come back once your recruitment starts and let us know what happened. If not, buh-bye.

I mean, if you want to post here just to argue because you're bored or whatever, people will get tired of it, if they haven't already. We aren't here to amuse you.

OH MY GOD. I wasn't by any means a fully functional contribution to society at 18 or 19 but I was certainly intelligent enough to email my advisor when I had a question and get an appointment. Or, *gasp*, pick up a phone and give them a call. Jesus.

If you're real and you continue to skip class for acneidon'twannagoihavenosociallifewaaahhhhhh you will not finish college. If you're real and you continue to come to messageboards about Greek life to get anonymous opinions on your ACADEMIC CAREER instead of talking to your advisor, you will not finish college. Forget a sorority. You have no business adding the smallest thing to your plate at this point.

If you want the approval for 9 credits, make an appointment and go in to talk to him face to face. Do you want advice? Asking him on the phone/e-mail will almost assuredly not work.
