Grades: How do they play in?

[justamom]

The emphasis on grades will vary from chapter to chapter as well as girl to girl.

For some recruitments-They request a SEALED transcript with the school's mark. I say REQUEST because, I don't think that's strictly enforced. You attach this to your application to enter recruitment.
Or, if directed, your school mails it directly to them.
There is a minimum GPA, as jess_pom stated, that allows you to be elligible for the rounds.

Several sororities, in fact I think MOST, set their own standards. Though 2.7 may be the information on your recruitment packet, a sorority may have their own limit of 3.2. At one of my niece's GLO, they were allowed 2 grade risks. This was for the girl that everyone loved, but didn't quite meet the standard. It is not liberally used. Still, no matter HOW great the girl is, she has to meet the minimum eligibility requirement.

A girl's GPA is one of the MAJOR screening tools used by sororities in competative recruitments. Still, in the FEW cases I know of first hand, they allow themselves some leeway.
