I thought all of that coupled with experiencing a new environment and having that inevitable freshman attitude AND participating heavily in a sorority would cause my grades to suffer. However, after maturing A LOT over this past year I realized that I truly do want to be in a sorority and I can make time as well as keep my grades up. Also, does it make a difference that my spring semester GPA was significantly higher than my fall or do they only look at cumulative average?

Considering your GPA is only 3.0, you did the right thing not going through recruitment while taking those difficult classes and working 20 hrs per week. What is different now? Are you still in a science major? The classes don't get easier as you go along, they get harder. Pledging does take a lot of time and effort. Whether or not a chapter looks at the cumulative or semester GPAs is not something we can tell you. It is a secret process of each group and they may all do it differently. If they want you badly enough, they may take into consideration your improvement. If they want to get rid of you they may just say, "Meh, she's a sophomore with a 3.0." We don't know. We aren't in the chapters. The only thing you can do is go in as the best version of yourself and stop worrying so much about what happens on the other side and about things that you cannot change.
