EE-BO makes some great points. I think establishing a pattern of a rising GPA is the most important thing, esp since it will be really hard to actually raise your GPA much. Just going from getting, say, all Cs, to B- and B will show improvement, and that you're working hard. A stagnant GPA that low can be an easy way to thin the herd, even if you're great.
TANGENT:
Something that I noticed as an active was that, ironically, the chapters who had the highest GPAs hardly ever cut for grade risks, while it seemed that those whose GPAs were lower often did. (This is coming from my indiscreet friends in other chapters, so...). One might hypothesize that high GPA chapters have enough members that are studious that they're not too worried about one or two grade risks, while low GPA chapters need all the help they can get. On the other hand, the chapters I'm thinking of, with "low" GPAs were generally some of the more popular ones, so through RFM they had to make the most cuts anyway.
