It depends on the school's policy which GPA they will consider.
Panhellenic will have a minimum required GPA to participate in recruitment. But each individual sorority will have different minimum GPAs (that they will require you to have in order to receive a bid). For example, Panhellenic might require a 2.0 to rush, but XYZ sorority has a minimum GPA of 2.5.
Sororities take their academics very seriously. Every sorority on my campus always competed to be "#1 in grades". Sorority GPA requirements are often nationally required (and non-negotiable). So they pretty much have to cut anyone who is under their GPA requirement, even if they are stellar in other areas. And even if they have the option of taking a "grade risk", they won't because it would jeopardize the sororities' overall GPA.
Bottom line, your grades are really important (in recruitment and in school in general). Low GPA is one of those factors that will get you cut faster than anything else.
