Once again, you do not know that the "sorority" wants you. Even if a few girls would like to have you as a sister, that does not mean the CHAPTER wants you as a sister. The "I know they want me" attitude will not work for you. I promise you this.

The question about exceptions has been answered. On SOME campuses SOME chapters will take grade risks. However I've personally never heard of a bid being extended to someone with a 2.12 college GPA. Regardless, your attitude, inability to write on a high school level (much less college), and admitted track record of skipping class will not help you. Focus on school. Find a club to join that will not take the time that a sorority would.

And lastly, joining a sorority does not mean you automatically have a bunch of besties. True friendship takes work.

ETA: If you could not handle a normal class load it is very, very unlikely you could successfully take more classes than normally allowed this summer. Part of college is learning to do things like communicate with your advisor to find an academic plan that you can handle so that your GPA will not be so low in the future. This does not mean you should take an overload of classes just to "get into a sorority" as a) you are in college to get a degree...anything else is secondary and b) I don't care how awesome you think you are, a bid is not guaranteed to anyone.
