I told her that I was a 2.8 and she said I would be cut on the first day by her sorority, just going by that, and there was nothing I could do about it. It totally broke my heart because they are AWESOME on my campus and I'd already hung out with them and fell in love with the chapter. (I was still going to keep an open mind, of course of course, but I couldn't help having a tiny preference for them.)
Also, this is from the book Pledged, by Alexandra Robbins, page 96:

Every sorority at UCF has their own requirements. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be "public" information so I don't want to say anything. I will say that most UCF sororities require at least a 2.5 college GPA and a 3.0 high school GPA. If you're rushing as a sophomore, your high school GPA will not matter and neither will your SAT scores. This could have changed in the last 3 years since I was a student there.
A lower GPA doesn't mean an automatic cut but you will be a grade risk depending on the chapter requirements. Don't bring up your GPA at the parties. In all honesty, it will look like you're just trying to make excuses. Your grades are what they are and explaining your situation won't change the sorority's policy.
