sorority gpa's

by: Wondering

Okay, so I know that you have to have a 2.5 to rush but my Rho Gammas told me that a lot of sororities actually have a higher requirement. Does anyone know what they are? I've had a really rough semester because its been my first and I'm trying to adjust and hold down 17 credits. its kind of making me nervous. So again, does anyone know the requirements for each sorority?

All of them are higher than that. Except for maybe 2 or 3 sororities, no sorority's minimum GPA for their members is that low. They usually start at at least 2.8, and most are about 3.0.

So if I don't have like a 3.0 I won't even be considered for the ones that have a 3.0 requirement?

It would depend on the sorority you're looking to get into. Some sororities will cut you if you don't have a 3.0 but some sororities will still consider you if that's not a requirement for them to cut you based on gpa and they still really like you.

I have a learning disability so school is really hard for me. I worry about my GPA too. We will see how rush goes for me. I'm going to give it a try. If people are going to judge based on one thing (my GPA) then it is their loss.

Unfortunately GPA requirements are in our sorority bylaws. Meaning we can't accept a new member below our GPA requirement. It's not a judgement, rather it's us upholding a standard that we agreed to meet when we joined our chapter.

You may be awesome, but each sorority has minimum gpa standards. Every sorority on campus has a gpa over 3.0. The lowest average is 3.19 and the highest is 3.48, all solid b averages. New members are tracked separately in the spring.

There's a form you can fill out explaining your grades! Don't worry. Sororities will see your major as well and things like that. If you have an explanation that you want them to know about like you do, then they will definitely take that into consideration.

It sorta seems like people's grade are their personal business. Do I have to provide a credit report to go through rush?

You give permission to release your grades when you register, and they are monitored regularly.

Being in a sorority is a privilege not a right. You don't deserve the benefits of a social organization if you cannot keep in mind the reason you're at Miami, for the school part. A sorority is meant to make you a better person and make you strive to be the best and with no standards, they might as well just let anyone in.

There are a lot of reasons for different GPAs. If someone is a communication or theater majors you will have a high GPA

Uhh all first semester freshmen are pretty much taking the same classes that are Miami plan. Nobody jumps into their hard major classes their first semester at school.

I got a bad gpa (2.7) and ended up having a really good rush, and I only got cut from 2 sororities last year. I'm in a "top house". I just explained myself in the form. Don't worry too much about it if you're cool/funny you'll be alright.

Loads of people in sororities do not have low grades. The average gpa for every sorority is a solid b
