Scared about rushing as a sophomore for competitive recruitment HELP!

Hopefully, one will take me despite me being a "risk".

I heard that sometimes sororities make exceptions to the GPA rule and would just put that new member on academic probation. Is this a rumor, or is there any merit to that statement?

There is no chance of me taking a class at this late date, I tried registering for one earlier in the summer but they were all full.

I'm worried that I should not even try to rush at this point and try to go through in the spring, I'm getting very discouraged. Also I feel that I won't get to show my true personality to any of them since my grades are the only thing in my way! Its just a bummer...this means everything to me.

Not saying that it would never happen, but I always advise PNMs not to bank on a chapter making an exception and taking them if they are below that chapter's min. GPA.

If this is a competitive school, the likelihood of this happening is probably low.
