Sophomore rush & so nervous- help?

My point was there should be a place for her GPA from her previous school and she should report it. When my daughter registered for recruitment, it asked about previous college, credits and requested a transcript if applicable. So in that respect, averaging the GPA's by credit hours is the truth. What would the replys be if her first quarter was the 2.97 and the second semester was the 3.7? I think she would be critized for "hiding" the low GPA.

You need to back away from the computer and stop giving bad advice. Concentrate on your own dd's recruitment. You just told a pnm to do something that could jeopardize her recruitment. She is not a transfer at that school. She is a continuing student with an established academic record, no matter how short. There are appropriate ways to deal with this situation as mentioned by angels&angles and axomom.

And no, it wouldn't matter if she had the higher gpa at the new school. If they ask for the previous school information and transcript on the form, you give it to them no matter whether it's better or worse. You let the sororities decide how to handle it.
