<p>I don’t think there is a minimum GPA for sororities at Cornell, unlike fraternities. Most students have lowest GPA first semester, then they get smarter about how to study and what courses to take. I would like to suggest for you to take a lighter load spring semester if you want to pledge. My younger kid did drop by .1 and went up .2 the following fall semester. But her GPA is pretty close to 4.0 so she can’t go up or down that much. In speaking with both of my kids, GPA is not the biggest factor for their sorority when they are considering “fit.”</p>
