I understand your reluctance to disclose where you are, but it's really hard to advise you without knowing.
At most schools with which I personally am familiar (read: the midwest), there is at least one chapter that struggles to make quota/total. Basically, for them, the choice during informal rush is not "Do we take PromDoe or Suzie PNM?", the choice is "Do we take PromDoe or nobody?" That means that, even if your GPA isn't great, they may be willing to take a chance on you, perhaps with the condition that you need to show progress to initiate.
Are you willing to be in *that* chapter? Well, if they will take a chance on you, you should take a chance on them. The chapter may be a little smaller, or not get invited to as many frat parties or have some stupid nickname, but I can assure you that there will be girls you love and sisterhood and formals and philanthropy and everything else the more popular chapters have (even the bad stuff, too!).

As for this, I would ABSOLUTELY let them know. If you have three more years on campus, and you plan to live in the chapter house, that definitely makes a difference in how desirable you are. Maybe some chapters won't care, but it certainly couldn't hurt your case.
