Okay so first of all how do I show I'm a legacy in a sorority? Do they recognize it if it's my grandmother?

Also what if my gpa doesn't meet their standards but I have extenuating circumstances? I lost one of my parents suddenly my junior year which obviously took a toll on my gpa. I'm not sure how they would handle it and I'm curious if anyone knows. Thanks so much for your help!

First of all, I am sorry for your loss.

As far as being a legacy, there is a space on the recruitment app for you to list your legacies. The sorority will check to see if grandma = legacy and will verify that grandma is an XYZ.

As far as grades go, every chapter has a specific chapter GPA that PNMs must meet in order to be extended a bid. If you do not meet that GPA, you should expect to be cut. I understand that you have extenuating circumstances, but chapters may not be permitted to make exceptions to their GPA requirements, so that's not something one should count on.
