What makes you think joining a club that has Greek letters, AKA a sorority,will be any different? It's still a club(the founders of Delta Gamma called it "our club of mutual helpfulness"). You will still have to "get involved." Nothing is handed to you on a silver platter. Your perception of sorority is very skewed. I'm still very close friends with a woman I met years ago thru the League of Women Voters. Find an org that is connected to something you care about (another poster already suggested that). The college counseling service is a great place to help you sort thru things and come to determinations on the other side - find your passions, help your social skills, calm your anxieties. Try it.

ETA: And that part about looking past your bad grades Freshman year...they can't. Grade requirements for most groups are set by their national organization. And they may also be voted on by the chapter. They can't overlook it. Sorry.
