However, she was devastated when she was released from recruitment due to her grades. There was a terrible misunderstanding. Her transfer GPA was 2.23 but her GPA from her summer classes at A&M were 3.8. We assumed (it was never explained) that the two GPAs would be averaged together to give her the GPA she needed to participate. Although she is an AXO legacy, she was open to any sorority. She is so disappointed because as a sophomore, she feels this was her only chance. What are her chances next year as an older PNM? I know that some sororities have Continuous Open Recruitment. How does she find out which sororities participate in COR and how does she let them know she is very interested? Please advise.
What would her new GPA have been? It may not have been enough. Also, the summer GPA may not have been ready by the time the rush GPA report was put together- perhaps she should've asked how that worked when she signed up for recruitment. How many credits did she take during the summer to get that 3.8? If her transfer GPA was 2.23 for about 30 credits (guessing at 2 semesters worth of credits) but she took, say 9 credits in the summer for getting that 3.8, it might not have been enough to bring up to an acceptable level for recruitment.

Agreed. It's the cummulative GPA that matters. So while a 3.8 for summer classes is something to be proud of, I doubt it would be enough credits to pull a 2.23 cummulative to above a 3.0.
