To answer your original questions...I am not from UF, but I did attend a Southern school with a large Greek system. I was in what was considered a really great house while I was on campus. Here's how it went at my house for Upperclassmen:
We had GPA requirements for both incoming and upper. If you didn't make this cut, you were not invited back to round 2. In a couple of extreme cases, legacies were cut. We cut my little sister's best friend (I had known her for 12 years) due to grades, and her HS GPA was higher than your college, she had high SAT/ACT and a very good extracurricular resume.
If your GPA was lower than the house average, you would have gotten cut from my house unless you had realy good friends who could convince everyone that you had to be a member OR you were super, extremely involved on campus. And that involvement means at a high level, like on Campus Activities Council or Student Government as an officer, not just volunteering here and there every once in awhile. You HAVE to bring something to the table if your grades won't cut it.
Since the Rush Committee is probably putting together packets and slideshows this summer, your summer grades probably won't be reported in time to make a difference. You need to really work on your resume to show each sorority how you will be a big asset to their house.
