Just because the minimum is 2.2-2.5 does not mean squat. If this is a competitive school in Texas, you'll be against girls who have STELLAR GPAs, most of whom will have recs. You may be considered a grade risk, and chapters won't want potential grade risks.
It's likely you'll be cut heavily and you won't get a bid. If you're not prepared for that outcome, I wouldn't even bother rushing.

Cosign...
but...my feeling is that a girl who has made it through three years with a 2.75 is unlikely to be a grade risk. Anyone else might be, but a senior? She's got three years under her belt, and the finishing line in sight.
TexasCutie, by any measure your chances of getting a bid under these circumstances are quite low, perhaps less than 10%. If you can live with those long odds, then give it a go. I personally believe that rushing has value even in situations such as yours. It will prevent you from thinking, "What if?", and it will give you a close-up view of a segment of campus life that intrigues you.
Consider it training for job interviews, for presenting yourself in the best possible light, and for selling yourself. Rejection is a part of life. As long as you don't take it personally, you'll be all right. It can take a lot of "no's" to get to a "yes" that will bring you happiness. But realize that the "yes", at this point, may not necessarily be coming from a sorority.
