What does your school has for GPA standards?

I just want to get an idea what other schools have as their GPA standards.

For...???? Rush/recruitment? Membership? "Minimum" versus "acceptable"?

ETA: There may be minimums that is required to rush, but each chapter likely has its own standards.

... Or are you just talking about acceptance minimums for the actual school? Because that's what it sounded like to me. Yet this is under "Greek Life".

Confused.

I thought that too, but he posted under Greek Life. OP (I believe) apparently is in the process of rechartering LXA. I think that following the lead of other chapters would be most prudent, but alas, some people still believe 'tis better to consult strangers than actual members of the organization that they are in/trying to get into.

What did my school has?

I don't think you'll have to worry about that.

GPA

At the University of Central Arkansas, you must have a 2.3 to go through recruitment.

Our National Organization (Tri-Sigma) requires a 2.50

Our Local Chapter requires a 2.65 - not rounded up.

I believe the individual chapter GPA requirements range from a 2.5-3.0.

  • Do you mean your school's minimum GPA to participate in recruitment for men?
  • Or do you mean individual chapters' minimums to participate in recruitment?
Thus I ask...
  • What do your chapters at other schools use? Ask them. Here's a link to your chapter directory.
    http://www.lambdachi.org/directorieschapter.aspx?sort=state
  • What do other fraternities at your school use? I looked it up for you. http://www.uww.edu/involve/greek/index.php (click GREEK COMMUNITY STANDARDS on the left)

    In
 order 
to 
receive 
a 
bid
 or 
begin
 intake, 
a 
UW‐W
student
 must 
have 
a
 2.5
 cumulative 
GPA
 at 
the
collegiate
 level 
or as 
a
 high
school 
student.

I am talking about the schools requirements. I know my fraternities and schools requirements. I am curious to know what GPA you must have just to get a bid, wheather you follow the school standards or go a step further and require higher standards than what is required. Because we just changed our GPA standard from a 2.5 to a 2.6 and I want to know if that is too low.
