No one can tell you that until after Fall recruitment. The sororities have to get through Fall recruitment, total has to be set, and then they will decide whether to do COB or spring recruitment.

You also have the option of waiting for Fall and going through formal recruitment as a sophomore. I would do that, if it were me. If you go through formal, you get to see all of the groups and they get to see you. If you work hard on your grades, you can come through with a good GPA. If they ask you why you waited a year, you can say that you wanted to concentrate on your grades. I would find another activity to do, study my butt off, and go through formal recruitment as a sophomore.

I think that recruitment should be the least of your concerns. Frankly, you are probably very lucky to have gotten into Alabama with a 2.4, and college may come as quite a shock to you. I think you should be thinking about how you're going to handle your school work first and foremost. If you have time for other activities, then great, but it won't do you any good to have a 2.4 in college. Think about what you want to do with your major. Why are you going to college? If your sole reason is to join a sorority, maybe go to another school. I wish you good luck. I know what it's like to have your mom be sick in high school and it stinks, but you need to make sure you take care of yourself now and put yourself in a position to succeed in college.

"Although the Alabama Panhellenic Association does not require a specific GPA to participate in recruitment, each sorority chapter does have a minimum grade requirement for pledging and initiation. Therefore, it is highly recommended that all prospective members participating in recruitment have at or above a 3.0 cumulative high school or college GPA at the time of recruitment."
