grade risk

Poster Message:
The top houses have a few "grade risks" that they can take each year. I don't know how many there are, but these spots are usually taken by legacies with lower than a 3.4. The actives have to really campaign hard for their sorority to take a "grade risk". They have to be a able to say why she has a low gpa-for example, she has a learning disability, she had a rough time in school because of some unforeseen circumstance (like a family emergency) or maybe she went to a really hard school and was taking difficult classes. They have to go to their academic advisor or executive committee and ask for a "special dispensation"-basically they have to vouch for the girl and say that they will help her make her grades. If their sorority pledges this girl, it looks bad on them if the girl doesn't make her grades or has a low gpa and pulls the chapter gpa down. So, what I'm trying to say is that it can be done, but it is not likely. Just go in with an open mind and a good attitude!
