Most will cut at a certain GPA but if it's pushing it and you really connected with a house they may give you a shot! It I had a friend last year who got cut from everything but phi mu and tri sig because of her grades soooooo

Academic support and graduation rates are the top priorities of most sororities nationwide. They ALL make grade cuts and usually do so early on in recruitment. Chapters might adore you, but bad grades are a RISK, because one GPA could severely hurt the overall academic success of a chapter. The better your GPA the better your chances at getting in somewhere. But I'd say if you have at least a 2.75 you might stand a chance at most. Here are the grade reports pulled from the panhelleinc website. So as college women, that's their average. They use high school GPAs as a way to determine if you'll hit their academic standards.

I'd say you should have around their average if you have a college GPA. At the very least I'd be be above the all-campus women average! If you can at least prove that your smarter then the average student (3.02) you'll be fine. All sororities are above a 3.0 (except one) and will want women who also care that much about GPAs. I'd say your best chance would be Tri Sig if your GPA is low because they aren't as selective as seen by the numbers! BUT I'm sure they're trying to improve and unless you're a rockstar you might not be worth the grade risk.

Some sororities automatically put you on probation from attending social function and/or require you to go to a certain number of study hours if your GPA is low (lower than 3.0 for most). So just be aware that if your GPA is lower than that, even if you still get a bid, you might not have as good of an experience until you get your grades up.
