OP,
Really if you want to be Greek, you have a couple of options:
1. Go through this year, be honest, cross your fingers, get all your other ducks in a row like recs, etc, and hope for the best, but know that we don't think it looks good.
2. Wait until you can earn some college grades, and then go through either COB/COR if your campus has it.
3. Wait until you can earn some college grades and then go through formal next year.
Personally, I'd recommend the third option because I think that if you make good grades it will give you the best shot at the most groups. Be aware that recruitment can be harder as a sophomore. But, IMO, the same groups that would COB/COR this year, would probably take sophomores in formal and some of the groups who can't COB/COR because the met quota and are at total (they are bigger and likely perceived as "more desirable*" groups) may also take a few sophomores next fall.
But I will mention something else that will sound bad but may have some truth: some groups are financially elitist. Your having to work will indicate to some groups that you aren't from the same kind of family background that they want in pnms. Not all groups are this way, but some are. So, when you explain that you have lower grades because you worked, you could be further hurting your chances. And before everyone jumps all over me, my chapter was not one of these chapters, but you're probably delusional if you say that no SEC chapters are this way.
* and again, not more desirable to me, but if they were perceived as so freaking desirable to all 1000 girls who went through recruitment, would they be COB/CORing? Notice I said "perceived as desirable."
