And we DO understand what you're getting at - grades are an important factor so therefore there must be a line of demarkation. There really isn't. At the headquarters level there is a number below which the chapter cannot cross. But that is usually WELL lower than their functional minimum GPA. For instance, I believe my sorority's national minimum is a 2.5. At IU I think you have to have a 2.8 to even participate, and the chapters who are really making grade cuts are probably cutting above to well above that number. But if there's that perfect girl, many girls in the chapter know and love her, she's a legacy, her resume is 9 miles long, and she has a 2.8? Yeah, they might let that one slip through. It depends on chapter and inter/national rules of the sorority, the needs of a particular chapter, etc. and is not consistent across all sororities. This is a very confusing business. Keep your head up, keep the wine corked and ready, and try to stay positive and chapter-neutral with your daughter as the process progresses.
