In a competitive recruitment, it may be a risk to take a girl that you aren't sure about her grades.

OK I think I finally figured out what your thinking is:this pnm couldn't ever be initiated b/c she had an existing GPA of 2.0 based on ONE community college course.

(I'll set aside the whole "new member" shortened period.)

In that case, she likely wasn't even eligible to be offered a bid in the first place! Her 2.0 GPA would not meet the minimum requirement for most, if not all, GLOs or college Panhellenics to be eligible to go through recruitment.

Of course, then, there's the possibility that the chapter may take a "grade risk" but that is membership selection information.

She may well have chosen to go through recruitment, thinking that her HS GPA is what would be considered. In a reasonable world, it would be. This particular scenario is IMO bizarre and unreasonable. But it is what it is.

end of this swerve and now...

congratulations to all the Illinois new members!!!

Now that it is a reality...she is just a hot mess of happiness!



My niece's friend is now a proud member of Kappa Delta and thrilled as that was her favorite house for a long time.
She loves them and went on and on about how magical her pref night was and that she's hoping the girl who preffed her is her big sister.



I'm waiting for the info on my rec girls, but I know they did head over for bid day,
I'm just not sure what choice (1,2,3) they got so I'm waiting.

So happy and so excited to hear about everyone!

I'm so excited, if I didn't keep catching my reflection in the mirror, I would think I was 18 and opening my bid right now!
I just wanted to say congratulations to your niece! I'm a Tri Delta at a nearby university, and I can say for a fact that she has joined an amazing chapter!

Thanks so much! She is thrilled and just hearing the sound in my sister's voice makes me want to cry.
Now if we could just see some bid day pictures from the houses it
would make the day even better! I love seeing those!

Been following this discussion from the beginning - I'm SO happy there are happy endings (or beginnings) here! I know 4 girls who went through the process - still waiting to hear how it ended up for them. Congrats to all!

I'm just as bad...texting my daughter at Wisconsin and asking her to find out where her younger h.s. friends now at U of I
pledged. She is ignoring me...
