High School GPA
 

Will a low high school GPA hurt me during rush? I will be rushing before I have a chance to establish myself in college.

Probably

It really depends on your school and how low your GPA actually is.

my gpa is slightly below a 2.5 I got a 28 on my ACT and will be rushing at mizzou

Yes. It will hurt you.

do the fraternities have access to high school grades?

You really should be focusing on school.

Depending on how strict of a process Mizzou is with rushing, the school may verify your HS GPA before you rush to make sure you're eligible.

It depends.

Very few fraternities I knew looked at grades. Mine didn't. Whether or not that's normal, I don't know.

Yeah, it really depends on the fraternity and what they're after. For example, if a fraternity decides they want to use recruitment to make themselves more academically-focused, the GPA may play a huge role. My fraternity actually happens to have a certain academic focus, so we look very strongly at GPA. However, this doesn't necessarily apply to other fraternities.

It's just kind of like religion: most fraternities (mine included) don't really care about your religious beliefs, but religiously-focused ones may take it into strong consideration.

In any case, still give it a try. The real thing all fraternities look for is whether or not you'd be a good fit, and you have no chance of getting a bid if you don't put yourself out there in the first place.

thank you, I am hoping my grades do not kill me and my athletics and other clubs I was involved in can help me.

I am attending ole miss in the fall, and i have a 2.3 gpa and a 21 on act. ive already ben accepted. it says the lowest gpa you can have is a 2.5 if you want to participate in rush, but is this true? and is there anyway ill be able to rush a frat?

They say the minimum GPA is 2.5. Why would they lie about it?

There is no requirement at my University. But Greek Life isn't as big out here and competitive as it is on the mainland. (I got to Hawaii).

Seriously? I didn't know such incredible schools like Mizzou and Ole Miss would take people with such low scores. Am I missing something?
