I have a 2.45 GPA. The requirement is 2.5. Will they let me in?

Yea, I know when I was active, I always pushed for the girl who had horrible grades, who wasn't friends with any of the sisters, and who never talked to us to get a bid.

Me too. Especially after they admitted they cannot do well in school unless they are satisfied with their social life. What can I say, I loved pushing for girls that I didn't know and that were likely to damage the chapter's GPA.

better social life = better grades. how is the concept so difficult for you to grasp?

It all depends on the person's will and the people you hang out with. Sometimes, a better social life=more distractions to school=worse grades.

Better grades are mainly a result of effort, not something that comes on a silver platter along with a better social life.

yes, but when my overall life was horrible i had no motivation to put in effort. i was in a depression. when you are depressed, you dont feel like doing anything.

You don't get a free pass for being depressed. If you ever make it out of college and get a job, you won't be excused from work because you have a bad acne flair up or your friends aren't talking to you.

If you are depressed, truly (which does not mean avoiding class because you don't like the way you look), then you go to a doctor just like you would if you had diabetes, for instance. And if you don't help yourself you certainly have no right to expect sympathy or help from others.

i understand that. but it was just the choice i decided to make. and i did go to a doctor and help myself. not asking for sympathy. just understanding.

Your posts indicate that your behavior is unlikely to change. For instance, your insistence that you will continue to let your social life and other trivial matters effect your grades is an indicator that a sorority is not for you.

In that case why are you behaving like such an assclown, then complaining about the reactions you get? Like I said before, you are either amusing yourself by making up various lies in an attempt to have social contact with strangers on the internet (which is not normal) or you are truly immature to an unusual degree (which is not normal). Either way I highly suggest someone that can help you learn how to interact socially in the real world as well as help you realize how to begin to behave like an adult.

You.Are.Good.

I was going to go with Bloomsburg because many of the students from my high school filter into that school. I have a little more knowledge about BU than ESU or Millersville but, I know about both. I worked with a girl who was a "Deb" and another who was a "Pixie" (Phi Iota Chi). Bloomsburg is a big party school, OP-so, you need to work on bringing up your GPA and stop being so concerned about going through rush.

I'm not saying give up your dream of rushing. I'm telling you that you are better off worrying about school and THEN rushing. Thankfully, none of those schools are too competitive for recruitment. You can go through as a junior at one of those schools and still come out with a bid. If anyone disagrees, please feel free to share.
