I can't speak for the OP's school, but this doesn't appear to be likely in large competitive recruitments like Bama. Chapters on the higher end of GPAs are often also chapters with high return rates, and they are therefore required to release more PNMs through the process. These chapters (in general) are the least likely to carry grade risks (without a very good reason).

I have known girls with less than a 3.0 who pledged chapters at Bama which have at or less than a 3.0 chapter GPA, but I haven't known a PNM with a low GPA who pledged a chapter with a high GPA (I'm sure there are exceptions, and obviously I don't know the GPA of most PNMs).

Just wanted to clarify lest a PNM misunderstand how a low GPA potentially affects consideration by chapters with high GPAs.
