Will you lose your bid? It depends.

Different fraternities - and different chapters within the same fraternity - have different rules about what may happen at this point. You need to speak with the brother that is in change of your pledge (new member) training/education (what ever your chapter might call it) to find out what your options are at this time.

But it will not matter is you do not get your grades up. So as others have said, do that.

For what it is worth, the chapter may have a very high minimum GPA requirement and he might have just barely missed the cutoff. Regardless, if he wants to join this chapter, he needs to bring his GPA up to the minimum.
