Initiation GPA to a sorority

[Barbie's_Rush]

Just because a pnm meets a minimum gpa doesn't mean she won't be cut for grades anyway during a competitive recruitment. There are also consequences to falling below a gpa once you're an initiated member.

If her gpa is your big worry while princess is still in high school, I have the feeling she's not exactly going to be bringing the strongest package into recruitment. Maybe you should concentrate on the current state of her gpa versus what she will need to attain and maintain sorority membership.

If you're asking for yourself, contact the school's Greek Life office.

If you're asking for your daughter, tell your daughter to contact the school's Greek Life office.

Daughter is in high school....came on this site because I felt I could get an honest answer, which I did by the other helpful posters.

You're too dumb to realize no one answered your question.

Why are you so rude? It's the internet. She politely asked a question. I don't understand why people are so mean on here. It's unbecoming.

OP came back with an obnoxious response, to be fair. I feel the same way when someone gets jumped on for asking a question, but this was deserved.

I agree with those that suggest the daughter should find these things out herself. I remember going through and though my mother did help me with recs (and wardrobe haha) she made me find out answers to questions like these myself and that was the best way she could have handled it...I was used to asking questions and going to the trouble to find resources on my own before I even got there.

At some schools, the panhellenic recruitment book lists a minimum for each chapter. Even this may be a lie. So, higher GPA's are better. Anyone should be able to figure that out.

At the risk of getting yelled at... every sorority woman I know had a minimum chapter GPA requirement of a 2.5. As other posters have said, it is up to the discretion of individual chapters or College Panhellenic Councils to raise the bar to a higher GPA.

Wow. So the appropriate reaction when you think someone is being a jerk is to act like a much bigger jerk? Got it.

BTW, I'm a parent too. I do understand it. And my idea of being a good parent is teaching my kids how to find the answers to their own questions, not doing it for them. But whatever works for you . . . .

Get over it.

On the real, who the hell is katydidKD? LOL. That's quite a comfortable newbie...or sock puppet...whatever.

Everyone has an opinion and can share it if they have time to post. That doesn't mean that people won't respond to it however they choose. That's the GC disclaimer for the day.

New signature (you okay with that? if not, say so now), and if I could tie in a YouTube Motown video (bet you can guess which one), that'd be *perfection*.

AzTheta, yes, I'm fine with that. Thanks for believing in me. ASTalumna06 abandoned me long ago.

She prefers bedazzled ass sticks to whatever it was you said. I don't blame her, bedazzled ass sticks are kindof awesome until you think about it for a minute.
