No: My collegiate chapter consistently boasted the number one GPA among NPC chapters at our university. While we had GPA requirements for recruitment and for all members, our standing allowed us the luxury of extending bids to a select few women who posed "grade risks."
Sororities do cut for grades, but there are exceptions if the PNM is exemplary and greatly wanted.
I never meant to make your medical condition an issue-- you did cite this condition in your initial post. While I'm neither a health care professional nor Tom Cruise, I do recognize that sorority membership isn't all hugs and teddy bears. The pressures and obligations of membership can make a person feel very unhappy at times.
It isn't that you couldn't "handle" a rejection-- but a sorority isn't all warm and fuzzy sisterhood. It's a big diverse group of women-- fitting in or acclimating can challenge anyone and I've known women to lapse into depression because they did not acclimate or weren't prepared for the time committments and other personality issues when working alongside so many young women. This is something you should consider strongly.
I don't mean to be unkind, and you and everyone will construe it as such-- but when you asked "Should I re-rush" I ask you to consider it in this context: consider that you've applied for the same "job" twice and you've been turned down. This is why I believe you would be better suited to pursue another activity other than NPC sorority membership. You've explored that path on two occasions. You may go through and get a bid, and you may not. My inclination is that the chapters already have a bias against you from those two initial recruitments (formal and COR), your grades are not as competitive as they could be, and you have two very time-intensive committments outside of being a full-time student--- and you're a better person than to have to take the rejection a third time.
The ultimate choice is yours and I wish you luck with whatever you decide.
