I was a naive, silly freshman, and I wish I could take the entire term back."
One of the most valuable lessons in life that many, many people never learn is how to admit that you were wrong gracefully.
The fact that you came here to ask questions makes me think that you DO have the character it takes - but please bear in mind that part of that character-building can be getting rejected.
I wish you all the best, whether you decide to rush or not!

Well said.
I imagine that you would be remembered as well, though not by all. If you act natural, friendly, and polite (coupled with your GPA improvement), you will probably be seen as more mature and be given a second chance. Show the sorority members that you are willing to work hard - get the recs, become involved with more campus activities (I'm assuming most of those were from high school) and leadership positions, and try again.
