I feel like the first question that'll be asked when they find out I'm a transfer is why I transferred.

Honestly, no one is going to care about the reasons for your GPA if it falls below the chapter's standards. It's pretty black and white; you either make the grade cutoff or you don't. It would be really awkward if you lead with a discussion of your GPA issues and your Rho Gamma has no contact with the chapters and wouldn't have any pull in membership selection anyway.
If you have a
truly compelling reason for a low GPA and transfer (and by truly compelling, I'm talking about something like your entire family being wiped out by the bubonic plague or you having brain surgery your freshman year), then your only hope would be to have several alumnae who know you well to write recommendations that describe that challenge and how you have overcome it.
Choosing the wrong major, sucking at calculus, breaking up with your boyfriend and not liking your first college or not getting along with your roommate are
not compelling reasons.
