Each UCF sorority has to make cuts after Round 1. Those who have had historically higher return rates have to cut an even larger percentage.

Typically, these cuts are made based on pre-recruitment data like your GPA. Similiarly, if you have a criminal record or a questionable character and this has been brought to the attention of a sorority, it will likely end in your being cut from that sorority. These are pretty straight-forward cuts. Being a legacy, having a rec, etc., will help get your through these first cuts, but don't guarantee that you will receive a bid. Some women who have neither recs nor legacy status AND who don't have the grades may get through this round, but she will have to be really outstanding in terms of her extracurriculars, have friends in the chapters, etc.

There are rare cases where a grade risk is invited back and some who are offered bids. This is the exception and not the norm.

The sororities whose minimums are a 3.0 are just that-- a minimum. It does not guarantee a free pass. They may actually cut up to a 3.5 if they have to release a high number of women.

That being said, there are other sororities whose minimum is lower than a 3.0. But I wouldn't worry about any of this-- whose minimum is what. Just be yourself at each sorority event.
