Really? That sounds very low for an SEC school. While you are above the minimum to go through recruitment, you'll still be a "grade risk" at every chapter and will face early cuts.
If you really are serious about joining a sorority, there's nothing to lose by going through in the fall, because you can meet women from all of the chapters and learn more about Greek life at your school. I highly doubt you'd get a bid, and even if you did, you might not want to take it since you'd probably want to focus on getting good grades first before you add tons of activities in the mix.
After your first semester, all that matters is your college GPA. So if you do well, you will make yourself a much better candidate for informal recruitment in the spring or fall formal as a sophomore. Since informal recruitment can be about having connections to sororities, it might not be such a bad idea to go through this fall just to meet people.
