It's up to you to try to explain your situation to the actives. Hopefully they will take these things into consideration.
Fair warning though, the grades issue might be hard overcome depending on the campus and the specific Chapter. Some may be able to give some flexibility especially considering your earlier grades, while some won't. Again it's up to you to explain. Unfortunately it's a little late but it could have been something that an alum could have helped explain in a rec.
P.S. My condolences over your loss. I'm surprised the University and/or your professors weren't more understanding and willing to work out a compromise over your grades. A death in the family isn't something that can be controlled and should entitle someone to a bit of leeway IMHO. That's really sad.
