Does GPA Really Matter? Although the UA Panhellenic does not require a specific grade point average to participate in formal recruitment, each sorority has a minimum grade requirement for membership. With the large amount of women who participate in the formal recruitment process, GPA tends to be one of the first ways for the chapters to begin to manage the numbers.
It is strongly recommended that you have at or above a 3.0 cumulative high school or college GPA. To help you understand how GPA will affect your recruitment, we have broken it down into three “GPA Zones.” If your GPA lands in a zone which you feel will limit your recruitment options, don’t worry!

Your options are not likely to be limited based on your GPA. (3.0 + ) YELLOW ZONE: a 2.8-2.99 cumulative high school or college GPA. Your options are more likely to be limited by your GPA. RED ZONE: a 2.79 or below cumulative high school or college GPA. Your options are very likely to be limited based on your GPA. (2.79 and below) 36
