Initiation GPA to a sorority

[crescent&pearls]

Most NPC organizations no longer have a GPA requirement to be initiated. That was pretty much eliminated with the implementation of shorter new member programs. Your daughter should be fully informed what the requirements for initiation are for her chapter. If she's unclear, she needs to talk to her chapter's VP Membership.

If an initiated member's grades are below the all sorority and/or all women's average she will probably be required to participate in a study skills program and may lose social privileges until her grades improve.

I've just learned something new. Using the all sorority or all women's average makes a lot of sense in terms of an accurate comparison.

This is not true (please don't use qualifiers like "most").

It's just that if she doesn't meet the requirement prior to recruitment, she will probably not get a bid. Also, the study skills/study hours programs are a chapter/organization thing and the requirements to be a part of such a study program are therefore set by the chapter/organization.

Agreed.

Thanks to those who were helpful! It has been more than 25 years since my sorority days, so I knew things had probably changed. My son is in a frat, but I know things are totally different on the sorority side of the greek system.

FYP.

Women who already have a college GPA (i.e. second semester freshmen and older) definitely have to meet a college GPA requirement to get a bid AND to be initiated.

Because the OP was unnecessarily rude and because the OP brought her mothering philosophy into it.

Up to that point, two people had basically said some version of "tell your daughter to ask her own Greek Life office." In response, one of those two people got this (with emphasis added).

Do long-timers here sometimes get unnecessarily brutal? Without a doubt. But in this instance, it was the OP who "started it."
