Freaking out over GPA?

Hi ladies..I'm a sophomore going through rush this fall at a public school that does not have a super competitive Greek system. I transferred to this school spring sem of my freshman year. First semester of my freshman year I had a 3.6 GPA, and while my grades from my other school are present on my transcript, my GPA from fall (at my old school) does not apply at my new school. My spring GPA was a 2.97.
The sorority at my school with the highest GPA has a 3.4, but most of the other sororities GPA rank between a 3.0-3.3. I know my GPA is below the average, but is it so much so that I will still face major cuts during recruitment? I have a lot of rec letters, I've been very involved in high school and college, and I'm FREAKING OUT!! I'd really appreciate any of your comments, however harsh/honest they may be. Thanks girls!!

No one here will be able to give you the answer you seek. We don't know if you will face major cuts due to GPA. We aren't the ones selecting members for bid day at your school.

You can't control your GPA. Just go into recruitment knowing you have recs and a solid resume and give it your all. Enjoy this period and quit freaking out already.

Average GPA is not the same thing as GPA minimum requirement. And as AAG said, it is what it is. Work on the things you CAN control and try to forget about the stuff you can't.
