The thing about national requirements is this- they are the rock-bottom, bare minimum that organization will accept. Chapters have the option of setting a higher minimum GPA. So what you will find quite a bit is that XYZ's national minimum is a 2.5, but GF chapter of XYZ will absolutely not accept anything below a 2.8 for incoming freshmen.
You can try telling them your story, but more often than not in my experience, the chapter requirements were absolutely non-negotiable, even though we could technically go lower. It's sad, but true.
The other thing is is that sororities will assume that your GPA will drop from high school. In my experience, most freshman GPAs do drop.
I agree with the other posters- your best chance will be recruitment as a sophomore.
