<p>Well it is true that first semester GPAs tend to be low as most freshmen take intro classes that are usually curved to B/B-, this is especially the case for Engineering, Math and Science Majors (2.7ish), so yeah it isn’t extremely low, at least if she is a STEM major. The GPA generally increases as the person takes more interested specific courses and acquaints himself with college. That would be extremely low if that was her graduating GPA. I also think some houses have the air of helping each other out. That said, I think you need to ask yourself if you can improve your GPA with the rush activities and within the sorority.</p>
