I am taking one course over the summer but that can't boost my GPA.
I was always a good student in high school and involved in lots of activities. In college though, I'm struggling and am only involved in equestrian club.
I regret not joining a sorority this fall and since then I have been waiting and looking forward to rush. I have to say ZTA is by far my favorite chapter on campus. Is there any chance I could get into ZTA or any chapter for that matter with my GPA as it is? I don't want to wait until junior year because I'll miss out on a whole year and I really want to get involved more than anything. Basically what are my chances with my current GPA and recruitment in the fall?

I highly suggest that you seriously take what other people here are saying to heart. You need to be releastic.
I would go as far as to say not to even think about recruitment until next spring at the earliest. You don't want to "barely" get in a sorority (if that is possible). Work on your grades and make yourself highly desirable academically. Get as far away from academic probation as possible! Take advice from someone who experienced academic probation very early in college. I went through a lot of hardship in college and had to take 7 years to finish a 4 year degree. I had to wait until junior year (also known as college year number 5) before I even had a successful recruitment. I won't go into detail but I had to concentrate on school before I could realistically consider rush.
Do yourself a favor and don't be so concerned about recruitment until you are "not struggling" academically.
