YES.

This has been my biggest ICS issue when helping out with different chapter's recruitments. I don't know if they don't think it gets checked or what, but I see a lot of PNMs giving their GPA a friendly round up on the form.

Ex: Suzie's form says 3.0, when she actually has a 2.85.

With GPAs, there is no "rounding up." And we will find out anyway. It doesn't make you look smarter. It just makes you look like a liar and might get you cut even if you DO make that chapter's GPA requirement, just for lying about it.

bump as it seems to be missing off the first Sorority Recruitment page for some reason.

Bumping as well since it doesn't seem to be stickied anymore.

[ComradesTrue]

I also wish this were still stickied. Not only that, I wish that it could be stickied at the very top of all the stickies.

There are lots of interesting and helpful threads that are stickied in this forum, however, what adpiucf did here is absolutely tremendous.

Please reconsider.

Good stuff.

Bump because of spam storm

I know that when I started filling out the ICS, I didn't know that I needed to have the exact GPA, and I couldn't remember my exact cumulative GPA (Like for example, a 3.23 versus a 3.27.....neither of those are close to my GPA.), so I had to guess what I'd remembered. As you know, you can't "save it for later." which was strange.

I hope that doesn't bite me in the behind. It's not like saying "4.0" when you have a 3.0...but I still feel a bit uneasy about it.

If it's that close, it (most likely) won't matter.

When I filled out the ICS for my school it asks for GPA so I provided what I had which inclued all 4 years, all classes. The school officially reports to Panhellenic the Core GPA which is a little different.

Saw this today and instantly thought of PNMs and freshman in general:

Recs are never REQUIRED to go through recruitment, but it is an unwritten requirement at some schools due to the competitive nature of those schools' recruitments.

Does anyone have any experience with PNMs at SEC schools (UGA) receiving a bid without having secured a rec for herself? Is it truly a rare event?
