That's very true. My best guess? I don't know the GPA minimums for all sororities, obviously, but I'm going to venture that a 2.0 is going to be too low for most -- if not all -- sororities on your new campus. I know that's not what you wanted to hear and I do feel bad for you because of your rough circumstances, but that's really my best, honest guess. But really, nobody can tell you for sure, so maybe you should find out the number for the Greek advisor/Greek Life office at your new school and ask them about GPA minimums for the individual chapters.

I went through a similar event one year in school. My grades were hurt by it too, and although the professors at my university were sympathetic, the advisors of my sorority found their hands tied when it came to my position as an officer. I had to resign an office because of a family tragedy that left me understandably distressed.

They are bound by rules dictating minimum GPAs for all kinds of things, including joining in your case, so if your GPA is too low for the sororities on your campus, there's nothing you can do about it but get your grades up and try rushing then.
