I went through rush MANY years ago (back when we called it "rush" and not "sorority recruitment") and while grades mattered, a bad GPA wasn't the end of the world. Now it seems like you can't get past the first round of rush without a crazy-high GPA, no matter which school you go to ... even the ones that aren't that academically competitive.

What is the minimum GPA that most large Southern universities will accept these days? Texas examples: Texas Tech, Texas A&M and UT. I'm just trying to gauge what my daughter is in for in a few years.

I understand the importance of grades and their use as a quick way to eliminate from a list of thousands, but ... sheesh, ya'll!
