Sorry if this has been said, but I don't feel like reading through 22 pages of this.
Call the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life and speak to someone about it. If they do let you rush as a grade exception, expect heavy cuts anyways because you would definitely be considered a grade risk. I would not recommend telling anyone (OFSL or the girls rushing you) that you blame your bad grades on acne. While it could very well be the case, it's a concept that's a little difficult to explain without sounding a little crazy.
Study hard. Turn off the TV and tell your roommate to shut up. Laptop and food can be study aides if you discipline yourself, nut up and do the work. Reward every half hour (or however long is your intense attention span) of hard work with a ten minute laptop/food break. Or, find a quite corner of the library and stick to it. To me, the appeal of the library is that it's quiet and I can't socialize with people while trying to study (for the most part, if I don't want to). But, I'm not a better social life = better grades person. I find a balance and wouldn't really say the two have any correlation at all.
Good luck.
