Do Sororities Really Want You To Try Again?

[michelle81188]

I really couldn't began to guess what went wrong. Honestly recruitment was fun I always came home smiling. My school is competitive and huge so they clearly can't take everyone. I have a 3.1 GPA which is above the recruitment for every sorority except one at my school. I'm also president of the school's retailing club. To my best knowledge I have never hooked up with anyones boyfriend or done anything offensive for that matter.

Really I don't think I have anything to lose at this point, I'll do it again. Thanks for all of your advice it was helpful!

There are alot of factors that go into recruitment.

We have tons of advice here on GC, particularly in this thread:

I'm not trying to be rude at all... BUT although a 3.1 is a good GPA, for a competitive school it may not be enough. Yes it's above almost all of the the sorority guidelines, but that's not to say that a chapter may or may not have expectations that are higher than that. Especially if it's a really competitive school. I went to a school that was not super competitive-- and a 3.1 would have been ok, but not put you in a stellar postion. Just a thought! Work on your GPA to get it higher-- and even if you don't get into a house you'll be better off!
