I would just like to add my 2 cents here -
So many freshmen entering have inflated GPAs these days and there is no telling how any of them will perform once they begin their first semester or their first year cum GPA. There have been way too many examples that I have seen where amazing high school GPAs did not continue in college. It is not because the young women did not try, but it is a whole different game than high school. I have also seen the opposite case where lower high school GPAs ended up doing superior in college.
Many young women and men start off rough their first year and continue to do better as they move through college and that is nothing to be ashamed of.
I think if you have an opportunity to write a letter and explain yourself, then by all means do! I agree with Zillini that this is a super time for you to express yourself, so take advantage of it.
The other thing that I wanted to mention is that new members at most schools become sisters before their first semester grades are ever seen. It use to be you pledged first semester and did not get initated until second semester after grades where reported etc. At least you are able to prove that you do have a 2.79 collegiate GPA and hopefully, you can express that your GPA has continued to rise with each semester. I feel your class standing may be the hard part right now.
I wish you luck!
