Considering I graduated with well over a 3.3 with AP credit in high school, I wouldnt say I'm the dumbest But it isn't polite to brag.

And I'd only think sensuret was a woman b/c he's posting in a SORORITY forum. Sorry

I was going to correct my mistake on calling NPHC NPC when you jumped on me for it. Yea I should;ve had my facts straight, but sorry I don't spend every moment obsessing and researching Greek life, especially since it isn't really an academic type of pursuit

Sure you don't have to obsess over it, but if you are interested in a particular type of sorority, you should at least know what council it is in.

And FYI: academics are indeed an important factor in joining a sorority.

OK?!

I like how our "obsession" with Greek life becomes overbearing when the n00b gets an answer that's different than what s/he expected

I'll just be honest depending on your school a 3.3 gpa and a criminal record isn't anything to be proud of.

Seriously. A 3.3. high school GPA is nothing to brag about. It's not terrible, but it's not impressive by a long shot.

ETA: And as for it only showing up on your record for 6 months... that may not be quite as clear cut as you're making it out to be. First, you have to complete all of your court-ordered requirements by then. And second, you may still have to disclose it in the future on certain job apps, etc. especially if you're trying to get a security clearance or something of the sort. And I wouldn't count on it magically going away after 6 months. It's just not like everything will magically disappear once the six month mark hits - there may still be additional repurcussions.

HAHAHA...did you just try to brag about a high school GPA?

Oh, that's right, you're young. That's cute.

Anyway, you are interested in NPC and have gotten good advice in this thread in spite of yourself. Good luck.

And from the looks of your posts, you could use all of those you can get.

As Sensuret would say: Try pledging the library.

There is a difference between academic smarts and common sense smarts and unfortunately, not everyone possesses both.
