I have done a pageant on campus and I am involved, I'm even the director of one of my organizations. My GPA is fair, it is 3.34 now. The deltas are interested in me, they have even asked and allowed me to sing at one of their events during their delta week, and during another delta event I was picked as a captain for one of the themes they had of their week. I just wanted to know exactly hoe much money I will need, and does anyone know anything about the pledging process in Tennessee, and is their hazing? also after hazing will I have to have involvement with my pledge masters, because if there is hazing of any sort I will not want to have any contact with them after the process, because I know I will not be able to forgive nor forget things I am put through If given the opportunity.

The first bolded point is terrible. It shouldn't be about popularity, rather personality, and this statement doesn't shed the best light on your personality. But I don't know you so you could be really sweet and this statement be a lapse in judgment on your part. Unfortunately, this post could have eliminated your chances for a bid. The Greek community is so connected that everyone knows someone, and there is a strong possibility that someone saw this post.

Also, like the poster above said, hazing is illegal in Tennessee. You would be bound to report it. I know on bid day at my school we signed contracts stating that we would report any hazing done to us by older members or members of our new member class, and that we would not haze in the future. You would be bound by that contract then. Not sure how it works down south though.

FYI...the OP is referring to NPHC membership intake -- a process very different than NPC recruitment.

So there's some sort of mandatory reporter law in Tennessee for hazing? That'd be pretty unusual.
