Girls, remember that you are IN COLLEGE TO GET AN EDUCATION.
You need good grades to do things like get into your major classes, get internships and graduate!
If you know that it's possible to get a bid as an upperclassman, then work on your grades, and go through rush next fall. You'll have a much better result if you have a higher GPA.

I don't completely agree with this. In some smaller schools, you may still have a decent chance to join a sorority. When I was in school, a girl pledged Phi Mu (very good chapter on our campus) with a
1.9 GPA! She was a sophomore who had classes with a lot of other members. When I was a Rho Chi, my entire group were upper classmen with very low GPAs. Some were cut, but most received bids. Of course, we only had 4 groups on campus with 25-35 NM quotas. My advice is to know the system you're rushing. Big competitive schools are probably not worth it, but smaller schools may still be an option for girls with borderline grades. I do totally agree with KSUViolet when she says that you are in school to get an education, so if you can't make good grades without having all of the extracurricular activities that a sorority entails, you may want to think twice about joining!
