PNM Question

It might not even be THAT big of a deal. She said her GPA is around the campus women's average. Make sure your friends in chapters know why your grades took a dip and that you are getting better.

I would guess if your grades are around the average you will be fine. Check the recruitment materials to make sure you meet the Panhellenic requirements to go through recruitment and each of the individual chapters' requirements as well.

The thing is I seriously doubt they're going to get a semester-by-semester breakdown of your grades. If they just get your total GPA and it's average - well I don't see that as being a huge deal.

I definitely qualify to go through recruitment, as there is no minimum GPA at my school. I am still waiting to hear back from the Greek life office about the individual chapter requirements.

FYI - Each GLO has an I/Natl minimum GPA. Then depending on the GLO and campus recruitment environment, local chapters may have their minimum higher but not lower than that. No campus I am aware of has its chapters report their minimums to Greek Life. So don't be surprised if Greek life doesn't have this info for you.

Hate to be "that person," but the chapters certainly did report them to Panhellenic at my school and they were published in the recruitment info booklet.

I know that Panhellenic needs to know chapters' minimum GPAs, but do Greek Life offices need to know that kind of info? Over the years we've seen clueless PNMs trying to contact the Greek Life office for all sorts of info and oftentimes they've come back, saying that the Greek Life office were just as clueless as they were.

Additionally, I've seen chapters' minimum GPAs posted on Panhellenic websites over the years, but never on Office of Greek Life pages.

I guess I'm basing this on my experience at a small school where "Greek Life Office" basically consists of the Panhellenic and IFC advisors. So if you called the Greek Life Office, you'd get someone who knew.
