Formal Recruitment as a Soph?

[buckeyegirl121]

Yeah, I'm at OSU.

Yes there is still the Freshman Forgiveness Rule (thank goodness!). You can use it for up to three classes. I've looked at my credit hours and if I get even just a B+ in every class winter quarter, my new cumulative GPA will be a 2.8. I plan on doing better than this, but we will see. (I had advanced Chemistry first quarter and I did horribly, and winter quarter I have much easier classes)

I'm glad to hear that Sophomores and Juniors still get bids. It's just frustrating that I messed up last quarter and now I have to miss formal recruitment But that's what I get for not studying till it was too late!

Spend Winter quarter first working on your grades and second, getting to know other Greeks. I know a couple of the chapters recently raised their minimum. 2.8 should get you into most chapters, but I think 1 or 2 are at 3.0 minimum. There are still some that are much lower (around the 2.4 minimum).

I know there are a ton of COB parties Fall quarter for upperclassmen, as well. If it doesn't work out for you during the spring, consider summer school to take some of your easier classes and boost your GPA.

buckeyegirl, there is some very helpful information in this thread and others, but I just wanted to give you a friendly warning to not post too much information about yourself! It can be quite easy to figure out who people are in real life!
