And if you're a student with a 2.53 cumulative GPA, your chances of getting a 4.0 this semester aren't good, so I think you're being unrealistic.
I also think that you are a junior didn't help. A second semester junior will have an even more difficult chance. I went to a school where junior commonly got bids but I think one you get into your second semester as a junior, that ship has sailed. You probably should've rushed your freshman or sophomore years instead of waiting though it sounds like your grades would've been an issue then, too.

It all depends. We've taken seniors before. Your chances on just about any campus are lower as an upperclassman, sure, but as to how low they really are...depends on the campus. (Though OP take note: they all had stellar GPAs, knew several sisters, and had impressive resumes.)
OP, concentrate on bringing your grades up for academic reasons, not just to join a sorority. As someone with extreme ADD and an aversion to studying, I can understand that for some people school can be a pain, but you need to buckle down and focus. Make it your job. Cut out social activities and give yourself two days a week at most to go out and play. And then, don't stay out all hours of the night. Spend the day on Saturday and Sunday studying, and use the night to relax if you'd like. Eliminate as many distractions as possible. If you do get the opportunity to go through spring recruitment, you'll boost your chances by blowing this semester away. It will show you've hit your stride and have learned how to manage your time.
