Don't ask if your GPA, age or class rank will hurt you in membership selection. That's an awkward question that puts your rusher on the spot. It is ok to ask about scholarship and membership requirements for GPA, however. It is also ok to ask about the general make-up of the chapter (approx. how much of the sorority is currently made up of sophomores, etc.).

For real. Plus, it kind of makes you come off like you're worried that you won't be able to make the grades to stay in. If you're doubting your grades and you're really concerned about that, that same doubt might just pass on to the member you're speaking with and make her less sure about inviting you back.

No she got in, albeit by a technicality that prevented the girls from dropping her. They were not happy about it.
