how sad is it they dont find out what houses asked them back until RIGHT before they start the visits? sad for the girls that don't get what they wanted and are upset, then have to put on the happy face immediately. girls with late classes are having to run across campus to meet up and go with different groups / gamma chi's....they sure aren't going to look/feel/(smell) their best after that!

That is too bad for the sophomores!
As for grades...each year they seem to be increasingly important. Most houses do not take girls with less than a 3.0/4.0 even though Panhellenic only requires a 2.5. I think that Panhellenic is aware of the different standards that each of the houses have, so it is a shame that a lot of the girls with less than a 3.0 pay all the fees and get released after the first night. If the houses require a 3.0, then Panhellenic should require a 3.0.

Interesting you should say this because we have had MANY discussions on GC about this issue. There are ALOT of schools whose Panhellenics do the eaxct same thing (set a low GPA requirment when the chapter requirements are much higher) and many of us think it's not fair.

We ran into that situation all the time when I was an active. We had deferred rush, so women already had a semester's worth of grades in. My alma mater only required a 2.0 - that's a C average, folks - to participate in any extracurriculars, so that's what the minimum for rush was. Needless to say, we had lots of heartbroken PNMs after the first night of rush every year I was there.
