Non-traditional PNM GPA question

Hi everyone! I just have a very general question about Panhellenic recruitment: I know that there is a minimum GPA to go through recruitment, but do individual sororities generally take into account higher GPAs (as in, is it just that as long as you meet the minimum, you're good, or is it better if you have one way higher?)

I'm concerned because I am in my 4th year at my university, which I know is typically a huge disadvantage. I will be staying for an additional year to finish everything up (so graduating in Spring 2011), but I'm concerned that my GPA of only a 3.1 may be another strike against me (I checked with the sororities that I am interested in and they vary from a minimum of 2.0-2.5 cumulative and semester GPAs).

I don't really know much about sorority recruitment, so I'm unsure if I would still even have a shot at this point if I went through spring recruitment (assuming any sororities choose to in the spring). Any advice?
