A very sweet Recruitment Story! (live!!)

[Katmandu]

Hope it works out well for your sister. I didn't know that Rush Counsellors/Rho Gammas had the authority to determine whether someone was presented as a grade risk. Surely chapters can see her grades and decide for themselves?

Well the way she explained it, everyone with under a 2.8 (for upperclassmen) or a 3.0 (for freshmen) was automatically marked as a grade risk for chapters, unless they had special circumstances. But each chapter has their own GPA cutoff and they can do what they choose with this information.

This seems like a strangely unnecessary level of power to place in the hands of the Rho Gammas. I'm thinking that perhaps there is a certain level of misunderstanding along the way.

I'm 99.9% certain I know which campus this is, and yes, I think either someone has explained it to her sister incorrectly, sister has misunderstood something she was told, or the OP has misunderstood what her sister told her.

Regardless, I'm looking forward to hearing the rest of the story WestCoastWonder, and I hope your sister is having a great time. I'm going to root for M&M's. Lately, I'm addicted to the peanut butter version.

Edit: Just realized M&M's is gone. I'll go with Starburst. I like those too.

I know exactly what you're guessing and I'm not sure if it would be appropriate to name names, but I'm sure you're correct

UPDATE!

So today is Pref day and they went to get their schedules for today and she was dropped by her favorite, Blow Pops

She really loved them and felt she had the strongest connection with these girls and feels lukewarm about Red Vines and doesn't really like Starbursts at all.

She's in the bathroom bawling and i'm not exactly sure what to do

Tell her to go Pref. she has nothing to lose and everything to gain. If she has a desire to join a sorority THESE are her options. She should proceed as if these are the only two sororities on campus, because for her, they are. To be honest, her grades are probably a huge factor. I hope she will give these two groups a chance. They see something great in her!
