Bear,
Only you can make this decision. If you want to rush this semester, than go for it. I only advise against it because you've been away for a year and you need to raise your GPA significantly. Greek Life has a lot of temptations to pull you away from your schoolbooks-- lots of nonmandatories in addition to mandatory pledge meetings and events. Your GPA could suffer even more if you don't have the time management skills to balance it, and you could wind up in a very bad situation. Also, you risk being cut during rush because of your lower GPA. Greeks want to bring in people with high GPAs who have proven they can balance school and social life (whether it is incoming freshmen, transfers, upperclassmen, etc.)
So it is up to you, but remember-- you came back to school to get an education. Don't party your way out before you give your grades a chance.
