What GPA is too low for your campus?

You must have a 2.75 and at least 12 credit hours to go through recruitment at Elon and you must be at least a 2nd semester freshman. Each chapter then has its own grade requirements, I believe. Based soley on my opinion - certain chapters may have higher grade standards then other chapters, which may cause heavier cuts in the beginning.

I guess I can kind of figure this out for myself by look at that average high school GPA of students at the schools. There'd be no reason to think the PNMs would be lower than average.

Auburn’s average enrolled student GPA last year was a 3.69. Wow.

This says Alabama's is a 3.4 http://education.yahoo.com/college/facts/9105.html (It has Auburn's as a 3.5)

Same source with a link at the bottom says Mississippi State is a 3.18. Doesn't have one for Ole Miss. (These admission policies suggest Ole Miss's is likely to be kind of low, comparatively. If you have a 3.2, you don't even need test scores.http://www.olemiss.edu/admissions/fap.html#regad) Says Ga Tech's is a 3.7. Says South Carolina's is a 3.8. Beginning to see a big problem with site's reporting.

This may be somewhat dated information, but I believe that at Otterbein you had to have a 3.0 to rush, and because it was deferred that came from your college GPA. Chapters had no way of knowing your GPA (they weren't given that information). If I remember my pledge manual correctly, in my sorority you had to have a 3.0 to activate as well.

Are you all locals?

In an NPC recruitment, they'd have to reveal the GPAs, I think, because the individual groups have minimums. ETA: I guess a campus could just set the minimum requirement to rush higher than the lowest required by any group, but that seems unlikely to me.

Yes they are. The sororities are, anyway.

According to that link, UW's (Washington) average admitted freshman GPA was 3.69. I would say that's fairly average for the (freshman) PNMs who come through Recruitment. This is not to say that anyone below that will have an overly difficult time - I have seen quite a few with lower GPAs who receive bids. And as far as I know, there is no minimum GPA to actually go through Recruitment, however, per the norm, each chapter has their own standards.
