Also do GPAs have any significance in the rushing process because I have a 4.0 (just curious). Thanks again guys.
This is literally an impossible question. Just go rush. It is unbelievably dependent on campus culture and even then on EACH individual fraternity on your campus.

The way to best maximize your chance is to be honest with your personality and the chapter personalities. We've all seen that guy that is dead set on pledging the "jock" fraternity but has never played a day of sports in his life. He has no shot of getting a bid at that chapter, but if he had been honest with himself he might have found a chapter that fits his personality better.

Lastly, I know at my school GPA had absolutely no significance in fraternity rush (sorority rush is a different ballgame). I doubt they knew the GPAs of a single kid they pledged. I also do not think a high GPA would make them reconsider a kid who they had written off. If there is a colony however, and national representatives are picking the pledges, GPA would probably matter.
