Yeah, you hear this crap a lot, but without many people from LSU coming on GC to dispell this myth, it continues. Thanks for bringing LSU experience to the thread.

I'm sure it's not a "rule" and I doubt it's even true.

One thing about L.S.U. sororities that is not a myth is that the campus has no NPC groups which start with "Alpha!"

Also, speaking of your grades, take a look at the list for Fall 2011 g.p.a.

Spring rush does not entail "cuts".

Understand that if you are an older student (sophmore or junior) sororities will often require a higher GPA.... not always, but often. This might be the reason why you have heard that once you are cut from rush, bringing up grades a bit might not be enough the next time around.
