My chances...and what would I call myself?

You are still a second year freshman, and like AXOmom said, it would behoove you to let them know if you will be staying 4 more years or just 3 (3 more means you are technically a sophomore in their eyes.) A 2.75 (or 3.0) is not a great GPA, but many sororities look at a college GPA more leniently than HS, which is just a promise of future grades. That being said, expect cuts. Also, get that "I'll be open to 6/7 sororities on campus " crap out of your head. That is called being closed minded, and no, you are no better than the girls who are only open to 2/7. You might only be offered a bid to that one chapter, and throwing their bid back in their faces when they took a chance on you with your lackluster grades would be the height of hypocrisy. If you go through, be prepared to REALLY get to know the women of EVERY group and take ANY bid as the HONOR that it is meant to be.

Well said AOPiA, and OP, you should most definitely heed this advice.

ngsu,

One perk of joining a sisterhood is that – years from now -- you can whack worried 18-year-olds online from a position of authority. It's a rush.

(kidding, sorta)

I don't know anything about recruitment at your school, but from what I have noticed while reading this forum, Carnation does, so her observation would reflect experience with your school:

The Greek Life office on your own campus may be able to help with some of your other questions (like class status when registering for recruitment). And of course reading the stickied general advice threads in this forum may help as well.

If you want to be Greek, the only way you are certain not to be is not to try. I would encourage you to try. Best wishes on a successful recruitment!

I know something about that campus - I don't know for sure if a 2.8 GPA will kill your chances of getting into a sorority but a GPA that low from GSU CAN kill your chances of getting into vet school so please think about what is going to be the best for your long term and career goals?

Although Carnation's post was (as always) helpful, I think this is the best advice you're going to get, ngsu!
