Recruitment at these schools?

[Parfait]

A bit of an update. I don't really hang around here much, mostly I log in to read some posts because I find them very informative.

After talking to a few people only one person I knew turned up to be greek and she was not in a sorority that has a chapter at the schools that I am considering.


Some good news though is I have been accepted to each school where I have applied.

Another question. My HS GPA wasn't really excellent, not bad, but not outstanding. It has gone up significantly in college. I understand you cannot speak for the chapters but is it do you think it's worth trying recruitment if I didn't have a 3.0 HS but improved in college? FWIW my HS GPA is above the minimum required.

This probably depends on the school, but when I went through recruitment they didn't even look at my high school GPA. I went through informal recruitment and it was all upperclassmen, and even for formal recruitment at my school (which is in the spring), I'm pretty sure they look at first semester grades for the freshmen rather than their high school GPA. Of course, things could vary at different schools, but I wouldn't be too worried about it.

Congratulations on your acceptance!

I wouldn't worry too much about your HS GPA. It may show up on your recruitment packet, depending upon the school, but most chapters will be looking at your college GPA.

A sister in my alumni group is a graduate of Drury, and she loved the school, received an excellent education and was very active in greek life there. I have the impression that it's a nice system... small but active, panhellenically oriented, low pressure. I don't get the impression that being a transfer student would be a barrier to receiving a bid, if the pnm is a good candidate in other ways. Good luck!

Now I really dont know about either of these schools specifically, but I do know generally that if you are a transfer going through recruitment, chapters will usually consider your college GPA, not your HS one.
