do houses drop girls in harder majors?

by: pnm

ik this website is a bunch of bs but i am in a harder major and i saw somewhere that houses will drop girls in harder majors bc they typically have lower gpas and dont want it to mess theirs up. also because they have a bigger time commitment to school. is this true??

the ones who can probably will at least count it against you unless you're exceptionally special in some other way. sorry.

why would they tho? if a girl has a GPA similar to their average, maybe slightly lower (like 0.1-0.2) but is in a tough major, isn’t that impressive and something a house wants to have?

fear of hurting chapter gpa.

I guess it depends on what sorority, but I haven't heard of that. I am in a mid-tier sorority and a biology major. Lots of my pledge sisters are also biology, science, engineering, accounting, education. I have good friends in other mid-tier sororities who are also science majors, nursing, allied health. I don't know anyone in Zeta, AXO, DG, DZ, AOPI, ADPI, or KD, so can't say.

I also haven’t heard of that. If a sorority drops you bc you’re ambitious then it’s their loss!

Absolutely! If you are in a harder major and they drop you then why would you want to be with those kind of people anyway??

That’s not true, though if you are an upperclassmen rushing in a hard major, we don’t evaluate majors and GPA’s when cutting for grade risks. If you are an engineering major with a 2.9, you’re going to have a very difficult rush.

We def don’t look at freshmen majors when cutting - people change their majors so much that would be ridiculous. Half the science & engineering freshmen won’t even be in those majors by the end of their sophomore year.

if you don’t evaluate major and gpa when cutting for grade risks how do you cut lmao those are literally the things that make a grade risk

i think she meant to say major only, not GPA (idk tho). if ur an upperclassman in a hard major with a solid GPA, at that point ur major isn’t alarming cause u showed u can handle it

I meant once we decide what GPA is an auto-cut for upperclassmen, we don’t go back through that list and look at all the majors to make exceptions. It doesn’t matter if you’re majoring in education or engineering, you’re cut.

i think tamu publishes all chapters grades somewhere so you might be able to see but if you have a lower gpa it will probably be hard to get into any of the top gpa houses since they don’t want to pull themselves down. houses lower down on the list probably have more girls in hard majors since on avg they have lower gpas than other majors

the grades published are often wrong. reason: not all chapters report rosters correctly. one year we had the highest gpa, but I had to call in a very high number of girls for our version academic probation.

Yeah the gpa report is totally bogus… not accurate at all and fluctuates so much every year… I know a lot of houses that have a ton of smart girls in STEM majors with a slightly lower gpa… don’t stress… all sororities at A&M have a great gpa
