To put this simply...Planning on doing big things this spring. I've been geeked to do this since I was in the 8th grade. So seeing as I've been preparing since 8th grade...no...seriously...I have a vast amount of information on a certain sorority burned into my memory. And I don't plan on stopping with the reading and researching. BUT a freind of mines told me once told me that greeks were less likely to accept someone into their flanks when there is nothing to teach , because learning is a big part of the process. Now, I can't help that I have this information in my head...my question is. If this is true, do I downplay the knowledge and keep my mouth shut <~ :evil: or do what I do? OHH I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION!! Do greeks so mercy and compassion... My G.P.A. might not be what it should be this spring because ...well some very very sad series of events for my family. Does it matter that I've lost members of my family recently or do I just have to have the G.P.A. no matter what the circumstances? Okay...I'm thru...

Usually no matter how tight you are with the folks in the chapter and how much info you know and how many letters of reccommendation you have...if your GPA is NOT the minimum which is usually somewhere betwen 2.5 and 3.5. YOU ARE INELIGILBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN INTAKE.

This is true with my chapter. You can be cool with all of the members but if your GPA is below the requirements you will not even be considered. It doesn't matter what circumstances you had or how much you try to explain your situation. There are girls who knew every single last girl in my chapter but when it came down to it they were rejected because they didn't have the GPA. You can have all the community service activities and campus involvement under your belt but if you don't meet the GPA requirements you won't even be considered.

I to am not greek but I have been through a process and I have brought people through a process Its not possible to know to much...what you know can be an advantage but what your LS's don't know...you don't know and you have to remember that...you can't just go spitting info that everyone on your line doesn't know because when you are on line...you no longer have a name...you have a line name and you are one...you'd get in more trouble for knowing info that your sisters don't know than all of you knowing it

Question for you. If you know that scholarship is important, why aren't you trying to spend your valuable time getting your grades up, instead of worrying about pledging? It seems like you have your priorities a little out of order.
See thats the sweet thing about me. I can do BOTH. I'm like Windows XP...I can multi task! But its kinda hard to pull up a semseter worth of low grades when all of the drama JUST happened. My....nevermind...not going into the sad stuff, its not neccessary, happened last august and its been really hard to be there for my family AND be in school. Now not to worry, I've done a VERY good job of bringing up my G.P.A. because I'm dedicated at achiveing and exceling in EVERY aspect of my life, not because of I want to pledge, but because of life. When I said my GPA wasn't doing to good, I meant by a fraction of a point, that's all. My priorities are straight, not obsessed with pledging I was just asking the compassion factor.

When we were accepted, we were told that most people's GPA falls when they are on line, so my chapter doesn't accept people who are right on the minimum. You need room to fall, if that should happen. Another thing that was stressed to us is that 2.5 is the minimum, and Delta is about excellence. My line's GPA was 3.1. And it was told to us after we became Deltas that we shouldn't take a whole bunch of people who just meet the requirement; but take those who exceed it. I hope this info helps. 8)
