If she failed a couple classes (which she had to have done for the numbers to work), she wouldn't get credit for the hours, and therefore would be short of the hours required to be considered a sophomore. I get that part.

And we can't make any assumptions about what other NPC sororities will or will not allow for GPA minimums. My assumption is that yes, 2.5 is going to be the bottom, but I can't speak for any of the 8 sororities who are in question here.

I would say that if your one horrendous semester is really in your past, I would wait to rush until you have at least one more semester of stellar grades. If you can bump up to 2.5 (which probably means nearly 4.0 this fall), then you would be a much better candidate in the spring. Now, I suppose there is a CHANCE that they would be willing to look only at your most recent semester GPA, but I doubt it. They might be more willing to disregard that first semester if you've showed 2 semesters (not including summer school) of ability to keep your grades up.

And regarding your GPA, is it too late for you to re-take a class? As I understand it, if you can retake the class and get a good grade, they erase the original grade, or average the two or something. Calling any professors for clarification on this one! And does it have to be done the very next semester or does she still have a chance to fix that?
