Not meaning to offend or venture into forbidden territory. I am making an observation and telling the OP that she should do some checking to see if there is a definite answer to her question. Is the answer to this question different for each sorority and not made public? I ask this question because I don't know.

Bama looks at weighted GPA (as stated by the high school) for admissions and scholarships- is it the same for recruitment or does each sorority have their own policy? I know quite a bit about Bama's admissions and scholarships but I do not know the answer to the GPA question with regard to recruitment. The OP has already been told on this thread that she would face "heavy cuts" but this is not necessarily true if the sororities consider GPA in the same manner as the admissions/scholarships office.

Either way- I hope the answer to this question works out to the OP's advantage and I hope she has a great recruitment experience.

Re: the bolded. Yes.

You are making assumptions and I am politely asking you to refrain from commenting on membership selection. I'm not mad, not upset - I'm just asking you not to make assumptions, especially with regard to something that you are not experienced with, or familiar with; otherwise you'd not be connecting dots the way you are. Several NPC women have posted that she will likely experience heavy cuts, and that should be enough information to answer your question(s).

Actually- I explicitly stated that I am only sure about Bama's procedure for considering GPA for the purpose of admission and scholarships.

I sure hope the OP does well and enjoys her experience.

However, you did extrapolate to "Greek life" eligibility. But, fine. Thanks. It may be different for your NPC sorority (sorry, I don't know what your membership is).

We all wish her well.

True -- and since admissions would be the only source of an official transcript, the GPA on record with Panhellenic would be that from admissions, correct?

This might be very good news for the OP. I'm sure she appreciates the info -- you were the only poster on this thread who knew straight-up that Bama doesn't recalculate and takes the weighted GPA. I didn't think you were treading into forbidden territory at all. : )

Please talk about your OWN NPC sorority, whatever that is. Thanks.

Actually, we were talking about GPA at Bama and whether weighted or unweighted is used in recruitment and admissions there. Not a specific sorority.

Do you have experience with admissions or recruitment at Bama?

Perhaps you should talk about your own, whatever that is.
