While we're on this topic of grades:

All rushees should take this general piece of advice, but it's especially true for freshmen:

Of course there are always uncontrollable circumstances (i.e. illness, natural disaster, etc), but TAKE COLLEGE SERIOUSLY. Make an effort to do well. If you don't, you'll have to work HARDER to bring it up. Make it easy on yourself and do the work/go to class. You'll be glad you did.

This is relevant to recruitment as well. If you go through rush after getting crappy grades, it's going to be harder for you to get a bid. That's just the way it is. Whether you're rushing at Ole Miss or at some small school in Wisconsin, bad grades will hurt your chances.

If your grades are lower than like 90% of the sorority GPA requirements, then in my opinion, you need to save yourself the trouble and focus on school. If possible, go through the next year after raising your GPA.

Forgive me if I'm being harsh, but I feel like this thread could benefit from this little reminder.
