Guess I will add my two cents. My daughter is now a LSU alum but over the years I had many conversations with her and her friends. Of course I do not know anything about membership selections but I have gathered a few things from those conversations. Academics are very important to all the sororities. She is also a Phi Mu and we received newsletters and Facebook posts etc. bragging about the fact that they were number one in grades several times while she was active. I am sure this is true for all the other sororities as well. I do not think that your GPA will be good enough. Sorry if that sounds harsh but I know that it is super important. Actually you can not participate in social activities if your GPA is below 2.5. At least that is the way it was when she was active.
From other conversations I would say that being a Jr. would not be desirable either. I know that a friends daughter wanted to wait and rush her soph. year with a younger cousin but my daughter advised her not to wait because they rarely took girls who were not freshman.
And even though it is not a hard and fast rule and I am sure that there are exceptions it is very hard to get a bid if you have been cut before, just way to much competition.
Of course none of this is official and I am sure there are exceptions but I would not get my hopes up.
