I need all the advice I can get
Hello everyone!
I am currently a junior at my university. I am really interested in joining a sorority at my college here; I've been interested ever since I came into college. I met with the girls too and they seem so nice and open.
The only problem is - my GPA. I messed up really bad my freshman year and had a 2.1. I raised it sophomore year to a 2.56, but due to bad family issues while taking tough classes and 18 credits last semester, it went down to a 2.4. I'm doing REALLY well this semester - this is probably my best semester since not only have I found my passion but all of my grades are really good - I don't think I will be receiving anything less than a B. Plus I'm taking 3 summer classes, so if I get A's in those classes I can possibly raise my GPA to a 2.75-2.8.
This is an issue though because the sorority I want to join now requires that we have a 3.0 GPA, though last year they said that they required a 2.7.
So my question is - should I still even try? This is literally the only sorority I've ever been interested in. I don't mind joining in my senior year since the sisterhood we create would last a lifetime, plus I plan to stay in school for one extra year to obtain my Masters. I don't want to pledge when obtaining my Masters since I would be really old. I know they're graduate chapters, but that doesn't really appeal to me - I feel as though that since we're all going to be busy, I won't be able to bond with my sisters, and if anything I would only be networking.
Academics come #1 to me. I have had rough patches here and there. But I don't want to graduate college with regrets of not pursuing something I really want to do... I'm stuck.
