Meet people like you normally do, and when you are comfortable, ask them "were you in a sorority or do you know anyone who was?" I made a few random phone calls when I was looking for recs and everyone was very helpful. Just be prepared to ask questions like "what did you like about being a member?" or "what do you wish you had known before recruitment?" Then at the end of your conversation, ask if they would be willing to write you a rec. (FYI, only ask this if their sorority has a chapter at your campus!) You can also contact the Alumnae Panhellenic in your city and see if they have any resources for you.
Be ready to answer why your gpa is low and don't hide from it. Some chapters can offer grade exceptions if they are head over heels about you. If grades become an issue, I believe some UNT sororities hold an informal Spring recruitment. Hopefully by then you would have a good fall gpa to report. Good luck!
