by: pnmI know this has been asked a million times, but I decided I would just ask for myself. If you have a yellow zone GPA, but you do have great recs,letters of support, lots of extra curriculars, and you know a few girls currently in sororities at Ole Miss, does the GPA thing totally ruin me?
#1by: Yes
In the yellow zone you will be cut from 5 or 6 houses right off the bat. The only exceptions would be if the alumni advisor really likes you for some reason and feels you could be of value to the sorority.
We as actives vote yes or no. It is the alumni advisors along with our rush team who determine the order of the lists.
#2by: hmmmm depends
There's a lot of factors that go into this answer. Things like If you're a legacy in a sorority, how close are you with the girls you know, and just your true personality in general. Be yourself! If you are a sweet, cute, and fun girl you'll end up where you're supposed to be I promise!
#3by: It depends...
Some sororities don't have their actives vote on girls until later on (like philanthropy/skit round). We would have you on a list that is in order by a lot of factors, GPA being one of the big factors.
You're GPA is huge. We don't like grade risks. And define yellow zone. Most sororities raised their minimum grade standards to 2.85 or even 3.0. And that's minimum, it does not mean you're safe or will get invited back. Connections might help you though if the actives vote on girls early on because the first girls we drop are the grade risks. Sorry. Ole Miss has a competitive rush and it's only getting more competitive. 1,800 girls are coming in and we all want the girls that will improve our chapter.
#7by: yeah!
It won't totally ruin you, but your options will be limited.
There are sororities that will automatically drop grade risks after the first round, UNLESS you have connections in the houses and those girls go to bat for you.
In my sorority if we are supporting a girl and putting posters up with her pictures on them, and telling all our friends and alumni about her, she will usually get invited back to skit. After skit, those without the grades end up at the bottom of the lists, our return rates will determine if she moves up the list and gets an invite back. (totally out of our hands)
