At UIUC, you apply to a college, not the university as a whole (e.g. engineering, liberal arts and sciences, fine and applied arts), and the requirements were different for each one. In fact, some people would apply to one, get rejected, and re-apply to another. If a PNM came through who was majoring in engineering, we usually thought "great, she must be very smart to get into a competitive college," not "oh, engineering is hard, she will bring our GPA down". I have a feeling that CotH's experience is an isolated one.
To the OP, there may be a chapter or two on your campus that make very few cuts because their numbers are down. If so, those will be the chapters most likely to take a grade risk, because a girl with a low GPA may be better than no girl at all. The question will be whether you are a good fit for one of those chapters.
