Yeah, it really depends on the fraternity and what they're after. For example, if a fraternity decides they want to use recruitment to make themselves more academically-focused, the GPA may play a huge role. My fraternity actually happens to have a certain academic focus, so we look very strongly at GPA. However, this doesn't necessarily apply to other fraternities.
It's just kind of like religion: most fraternities (mine included) don't really care about your religious beliefs, but religiously-focused ones may take it into strong consideration.
In any case, still give it a try. The real thing all fraternities look for is whether or not you'd be a good fit, and you have no chance of getting a bid if you don't put yourself out there in the first place.
