Another Michigan grad here, and unfortunately the answer is no.

You are competing against people with very impressive resumes, and a sorority is a HUGE commitment of time and energy. If your grades aren't good enough now -- which they aren't -- the odds that they will be significantly higher in a few months, after devoting a lot of your time and energy resources to the organization, are very low.

I say this particularly because you noted that your grades fell because you had a challenging time balancing school with your social life. Adding even MORE social temptations and commitments by joining the greek system is not likely to do good things for your grades, since you've struggled there in the past.

I think you'd likely have a better chance as a junior with better grades than a sophomore with lower grades. I suggest focusing on your schoolwork this year -- big time! -- and re-evaluating next year.
