COB- Informal Rush Dickinson

[clemsongirl]

Is the 3.0 requirement to go through recruitment or to join Greek Life? If it's just for formal recruitment, she could reach out to sororities this semester and see if any of them are doing COB rather than waiting until the fall. Whether a sorority is doing COB is determined semesterly so even if they aren't this spring some sororities could be in the fall.

I think its the GPA required by sororities and greek life in order to rush. All her roommates are Theta's so at least she has some friends there. Its most likely she will not rush too next year- will give her additional time to pull up her GPA even though she not too far away.

This is what is on Dickinson College's Panhellenic Recruitment page:
"To be eligible to participate in Panhellenic's Formal Recruitment process, a woman must be a regularly enrolled, full-time undergraduate student who is on-campus and in good standing with Dickinson College, has completed at least 4 credits in one semester, and has a 2.6 or better cumulative GPA. "

Here's my advice: IF there are any sororities doing COB, she could go ahead and sign up for it. She might (or might not) be invited for a visit or two, which may or may not result in a bid. At the worst, she would meet and get to know some girls in the sorority and get a feel for the group. If they offer her a bid - wonderful! If not - she can go through next year.

Generally speaking, Panhellenic can recommend that grades be at a certain level or above, but it's the sororities that decide if someone meets their criteria or not.
