I went through a similar event one year in school. My grades were hurt by it too, and although the professors at my university were sympathetic, the advisors of my sorority found their hands tied when it came to my position as an officer. I had to resign an office because of a family tragedy that left me understandably distressed.

They are bound by rules dictating minimum GPAs for all kinds of things, including joining in your case, so if your GPA is too low for the sororities on your campus, there's nothing you can do about it but get your grades up and try rushing then.
