At my previous university, I saw how much fun sororities looked and there was deferred recruitment, but by the time it was the spring semester, I was on academic probation and was ineligible.
I'm transferring to a new school next year due to bad grades at another university. I got my GPA up to a 3.0 at my old school, but my GPA would be a 2.95 at the new one. I'm also taking summer classes so my GPA would be above a 3 for recruitment. So my grades shouldn't be a factor for my parents to tell me not to join.
I just don't know how to broach the topic with my parents. How do I bring it up to them? I've gotten my act together when it comes to studying and prioritizing things, so I definitely think I can handle my time properly now.

Unless your parents will be footing the bill for your sorority expenses, I'm not sure why it's even an issue.
I'd be more concerned about your grades. Depending on where you will be going to school, barely having a 3.0 just might not cut it...especially if you'll be going head to head with girls who boast very high GPAs.
