Education is not free in France. Cheaper than US state schools, but not free. This is the quickest reference I could find, I can find others if needed:

It should be noted that there are private universities in France as well.
Obviously, for French public universities, it's still a heck of a lot cheaper to go to school in France than to the US.
My chapter had members from Argentina, Japan, South Korea, the UK... I knew many other international students who joined other NPCs at my school. It's very common in places where the international student population is high and Greek life is popular.
In terms of your grades, work hard - you'll have to do well on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) at the very least.
