Could I go through Membership Intake

I'm also going into my junior year

This isn't related to the type of fraternity/sorority you are joining (NPHC, NPC, MC, etc.), but is a general question about balancing your academics with a potentially time-consuming membership. (So I don't think that it's swerving).

You're a junior with a 2.492 average. Do you work in addition to attending school? Do you have a demanding course load? Do you have other time commitments that affect your academic performance?

I'm not asking for "excuses", but what do you think the reasons are why your GPA is lower? Are these circumstances under your control? Outside of your interests in Greek membership, do you have a desire and plan to improve your grades? In other words, what is lacking or happening that is preventing you from getting better grades, and what can you do to improve your grades? What would/can you do to maintain those grades if you were given the opportunity to take on the commitment of membership?

Not to sound like a bad pun, but the GPA line may be much less malleable than a line in the sand. Some in the know have suggested that there may be little to no wiggle room or rounding up. So what can/will you do to earn better grades?

(We often ask women who are re-rushing after unsuccessful recruitments what they have done to improve themselves for the next time around, so this is kind of the same question.)
