Rushing at FSU- Worried about GPA

[tallygirl95]

I called them today, and the office said that some sororities will be more strict about it and some will not. She said that they will understand I just started college so they will take that into consideration. She said I should still go for it, but that doesn't mean I'm guaranteed a bid.
Will I be eliminated from most sororities right off if they do consider this GPA? I just don't want to be embarrassed.

That's a membership selection question, which is private and unique to each sorority. You're going to receive cuts during recruitment no matter what. It is up to you whether or not you feel embarrassed. Any cuts on basis of GPA will be in the first rounds, and everyone receives cuts. You could at least start recruitment and see what your options after after the first rounds.

It sounds like the chapters will see your summer GPA, so that is in the minus column -- no one can predict how many chapters will consider other factors.

Potentially in the plus column -- do you have several stellar recs to each chapter? Are your activities, leadership, honors, etc impressive enough to potentially offset the summer snafu?
