Should I go through Formal Recruitment?

Depending on how your school handles transfers - and they all can vary - the F's may not even show up. So it may be that your GPA will be only the A's - D's that you received. I'd ask the school how they do that and check with the Greek Life office as well. You very well may be worrying about something that won't even show up. If it does, you'll have to deal with it but I would get all the info from your school first - and not us. We didn't go to your community college nor the college you are transferring to nor are we there now. And they are the final arbitor.

That's not even something I thought about. However, I was under the impression that once you transfer you start off with a clean slate, GPA wise.

That is definitely something I will look in to.

I was only asking here, because if on the off chance that a current member of the sororities at my school (or recent graduates) were here they could be able to give school-specific info.

Thank you!

You may start off with a clean slate at the school, but sororities consider your most recent GPA if you've attended another college (whereas first semester freshman are considered on basis of their high school GPA). It appears based on the school website that any student in good standing at the school can go through recruitment, but that the three sororities may have GPA requirements above those of the school's. You can certainly give it a shot.

However, a 1.9 is very low and I really can't imagine anyone getting a bid with a GPA of that caliber. Even a 2.4 is very low.

I suggest you transfer and get a great semester of grades under your belt. Then rush. Right now your GPA is incredibly low and you can't base your GPA going into recruitment on what you "expect" you will receive this semester because there's no guarantees that you will earn those grades.

Good luck. I'd wait until my GPA was up a bit and I was acclimated to my new school in your situation. You can join other campus organizations in the meantime and meet Greeks and new friends this way. Getting involved on campus will also help you manage your time, if you truly believe that you need to have outside obligations to help you prioritize...
