Being in a sorority is something that I really want to do, but with my GPA overall, I would only be able to get into 2-3 out of 6. Would it still be worth it to rush even if I'm not able to give them all a fair chance?
Based on your wording of "first few semesters," I take it you'll be a junior. I am also assuming that although you have brought up your GPA, your cumulative is borderline because you say that you'd be ineligible for some of the chapters at your school.

I'll be honest, as a junior with a low GPA, your chances do not look good. I don't know where you go to school, but if it is a competitive school with a hefty registration fee, and a school where recs are vital, I'd say save your time and money. If you are at a less competitive school with a low registration fee, where recs are emphasized very little or not at all, and you will be ok if you are cut by all chapters, go ahead and give it a shot.
