It has been my experience that the minimum required to go through recruitment for a particular campus often falls below the minimum for the chapters. So, if the required min to go through is 2.5, you can be sure that some of the houses will have a higher min. like a 3.0. These chapter minimums are not often posted. Now, that said, there are also exceptions to those chapter minimums. But, to pledge a pnm with a lower than required gpa will take special permission. Usually the pnm will need to have an abundance of extracurricular activities, etc to show that her academic performance suffered somewhat due to this involvement. It is harder to get a bid if you are below the chapter minimum, but it is not unheard of.

Two recs per house sounds good. But, if you know five alums from ABC sorority, go ahead and give your info to all five and ask if they would mind writing a letter for you. It is not going to hurt to have more than two letters or recs.


Good luck this fall. We will be rooting for you!
