Hello I am currently a sophomore in college with superb community service and a gpa 3.3, but my freshman year I was on academic probation due to some problems in my life that affected my ability to do well. I have since taken over all those classes and restored my gpa. Do I have a chance in having a opportunity to join this wonderful organization..or will this hender me from accomplishing this goal??

I'm trying to do the same as you, and I've had previous troubles with classes due to personal issues. I've discussed this with the AKA advisor at my school, and she said it shouldn't be a problem. Be honest and explain your situation to your discretion. On most campuses, they seek to find out if you've had any disciplinary infractions (fights, suspensions, vandalism, large fines, etc.) that they may think are questionable to your character and AKA's reputation should you become a member. I think you haven't much to worry about because they're quite understanding when it comes to personal problems that may affect grades. As long as you've made the effort to get back atop your GPA (as you have with that 3.3. Go girl!), you should be fine. Nationals requires you to have no less than a C+-average the semester before Rush (as well as a C+ CGPA) in order to participate.

If you've demonstrated an effort to correct earlier mistakes, they'll probably let it go. You are only required to have a minimum C+ average for one full semester, at least to rush. But the organization makes its own decisions, none of us can speak for them. Talk to AKA directly and be prepared to explain your situation.

be honest with the counsel. I would start at the top and work your way down. The more they know of you, the more you will be discussed and brought up as a potential. Make an effort to stand out......good luck

I really don't understand why you would want to be a part of sororities/frats. What's the big effin deal about it?
