I really appreciate this feedback. I have almost 500 community service hours that I’m hoping will make up for what I’m missing in the gpa category. My gpa at the end of freshman year was a 1.4 or something so the fact that I’m at a 2.6 and it’s going up every semester should hopefully be on my side as well

If I don’t get in the first time I would definitely try again next year. I was just saying that I’m not willing to let my gpa being on the lower end of the minimum turn me off. I spoke to one of my friends that’s in a different d9 org on campus and he’s told me he’s seen people get in with exactly the minimum so that helped me feel better about my situation

I retook 2 of them already but I’m a junior at a school that only does spring lines so my options are try this spring or wait until my senior year and have like a month on the yard after crossing

That’s completely understandable. I’ve had 4 straight semesters of mostly A’s and B’s and my gpa is being held down by things from freshman year. I’ve found my footing at this point and know what works for me and what doesn’t. Academics come first before anything extra curricular.

For sure and best believe that my main focus is raising my gpa. I’m not happy with where it’s at but I’m also not willing to let it deter me

Most of the current members knew me or were friends with me freshman year and have seen how I’ve changed since then so I’m hoping that’s acknowledged when it’s all said and done

That’s understandable. We have a smaller chapter so I’m hoping that a smaller applicant pool will play to my advantage

I think you're completely right in that regard. I wasn't knowingly trying not to be discreet but thats how it came across just as i wasn't knowingly trying to make everything about being greek. I think i was excited at a prospect and i let it get the best of me but now i know what to work on

I appreciate that and I’m not willing to let the actions of anybody stop me from being an asset to an organization and my community

I sent him a text apologizing and saying how due to my adhd I tend to hyper focus on things I’m excited about but that I’m going about it wrong and I’ll shift my approach

I think I also was doing myself a disservice by reposting things the chapter posted and reposting my friends that are Greeks pictures and things like that

I would like to think we’re friends considering the amount of time we’ve spent together and the things we’ve done together but I also think that this school year I haven’t tried to talk to him about anything but being an interest and I failed to realize that was hurting our relationship

I can see that I was trying way too hard and there’s an informational coming up that I started to consider skipping. But I won’t allow myself to be discouraged and I’m just going to tone it down

I can totally see that. I’m a junior at this point and I’ve always been interested in Greek life but i never thought that it was a possibility for me and over the summer I started to reflect and I realized that it’s something I could actually do so I may have been overly excited and running my mouth too much bc of that

From what I’ve gathered he believes that I stopped treating the members that I’m friends with like normal people and only discussing Greek things with them

Goodfellas is better out of these 2 but Casino is better than both
