Yes there is still the Freshman Forgiveness Rule (thank goodness!). You can use it for up to three classes.

(I had advanced Chemistry first quarter and I did horribly, and winter quarter I have much easier classes)

I'm glad to hear that Sophomores and Juniors still get bids. It's just frustrating that I messed up last quarter and now I have to miss formal recruitment But that's what I get for not studying till it was too late!
Spend Winter quarter first working on your grades and second, getting to know other Greeks. I know a couple of the chapters recently raised their minimum. 2.8 should get you into most chapters, but I think 1 or 2 are at 3.0 minimum. There are still some that are much lower (around the 2.4 minimum).

I know there are a ton of COB parties Fall quarter for upperclassmen, as well. If it doesn't work out for you during the spring, consider summer school to take some of your easier classes and boost your GPA.
