I do, however, completely understand this concern, which is why I'm not sure how to address this situation if it comes up. I suppose I probably should just say that I've realized my mistakes and have worked out ways to fix them or something to that effect. Hopefully it will just not come up.
Thank you both for your responses!

Sorority women a) have heard it all before and b) are good at reading between the lines. You can always say "I had some personal difficulties that I've since been able to resolve". That would cover illness, death in the family, suicide attempts, sudden diagnosis with a learning disability...pretty much anything, but it lets you acknowledge the elephant. Now, the chapter still has to decide if they are going to take a risk on you moving on and doing better, grade-wise, but I think that at least a brief mention is better than nothing.
