Orly?
NPHC groups care just as much about academics as NPC groups. Please pledge the library before you consider any Greek organization.
Two courses at a C+ that are 3 or 4 credits will not tank you to a 2.9 unless you weren't doing so hot before hand. A C+ is a 2.3 so I'm thinking you had one or more B- (2.7) grades and not that many B(3.0) B+ (3.3) A- (3.7) or A (4.0) grades your first semester. I have never been graded in a +/- system, but with a B+, a B, and two B- grades you wouldn't hit a 3.0, and a C+ is actually a little bit better considering it is a 2.3 and not a flat 2.0.
I also find it unfortunate that Mizzou has tutoring for math and economics courses at
http://learningcenter.missouri.edu/ which you didn't mention using, just that they are the most failed at Mizzou. You didn't fail, you got a C+ and I bet that if you spent less time on your laundry list of activities you'd have better than a 2.9 overall GPA with 24-30 credits under your belt.
