A 2.7 is very low BUT a 30 is a very good ACT score. They can balance each other out sometimes - it depends on the campus and the competitiveness of your Greek system. The women who write your rec(s) and letters can help by addressing whatever happened your junior year so they can explain to the houses that you are able to handle the academic load of college.
And, this fall (if that is when you go through rush), or whenever, keep an open mind as you go through the process. You gpa will be an issue for some houses, no matter what.
We will be rooting for you! Keep us posted.
