Yes, do attend the Open Houses and at least get to know some of the girls. But, if your grades are not up yet, don't accept personal invites to COBs. If they ask, politely let them know that you would like to wait until XXX quarter to actually pledge. You don't need to go into details about your grades yet.
Keep in mind, after formal Bid Day, everyone will be wearing letters and carrying their bags to classes. Talk to the girls about their houses and ask to study with them. Many will invite you to the houses to study (what a better way to be a fly on the wall?).
Once your grades are up, you can be serious about doing COB or even Formal next year. If I remember correctly, EVERY house took at least one Sophomore during formal in 2008.
