I would wait a semester (if they do COB) or until next year. The "reasons" why you had poorer grades won't fly. There are countless women who have great grades, do many activities and who work. Sadly, you will fall to the bottom of the pile and maybe hope to be one of the few scholaship risks a chapter might take.

Take time to build yourself up. Pledging and being an active takes a LOT of time, and if you couldn't hack going to school and having other responsibilities in HS, then how will you do it in college?

Good luck on your journey.

I echo everyone who said to bring your grades up, then rush.

You are in school to get an education first, not join a sorority.

I agree. Wait a semester so they look at your college GPA. We automatically cut anyone below a 2.8 after first sets because we cannot initiate you without a 2.8. I don't know where your GPA is, but basically we wouldn't be able to consider the explanation -- just the number.
