Coloniztion Rush

As a colony member who has gone on to be on colonization teams for her organization, I can tell you that you've received inaccurate information.

The further along in school you are the higher your GPA needs to be.

Ive been hearing from people that new sororities trying to colonize use Panhellenic's lowest gpa while another friend of mine said that because they are a new sorority they won't have a set gpa since they are trying to colonize. Any advice?

What AdmiralPerry said.

Please don't believe that a colony will not have a set GPA or that they'll aim for a GPA lower than what's set by most of the sororities on campus. National GLOs want to set their colonies up for success, not failure.

Oh, and please, going forward, don't abbreviate the word "cumulative"…..

oops thanks for that ASTalumna06! My friend just recently colonized at their school and she said according to Panhellenic there, the colonizing sorority made their gpa the same as the gpa required to be allowed to sign up for formal recruitment thats why I was curious...or many it varies by the sorority/school?

That may have been their gpa to attend information sessions, but as with formal rush, the gpa to be chosen is a different story.

Your GPA is what it is and you can't change it before colonization. There really isn't any point in worrying about it. During the interview process, it would be very appropriate for you to ask about their GPA requirements for pledging and initiation. Don't try to convince the interviewer that yours will increase if you don't make the minimum! Just thank her for the information,.
