The system under which NPC member selection works (and I think I can generalize based on LOTS of information here) is grade cuts are based on gpa only. The transcript is there to prove what you say is true, not to gauge actual intelligence.

I would NOT rush now because the only outcome you can have is negative. I don't see any scenario where they will accept you, but I can definitely see a scenario where someone is drawn to saying something like "can you believe she even THOUGHT she could join a sorority? What a doof" and once something like that is out there, it can't be undone.

Do as suggested above, and even after just one semester you can try to pledge through informal rush in the spring. Your college grades are the only thing that matter once you have a college gpa, so a really solid 1st semester will be enough, at least where grades count. IF you can get good grades (and I'd shoot for a 3.0+ based on what I've read here) AND be involved on campus and make friends with a variety of sorority women, you could have a positive outcome in just a few short months.

As far as your education, let me give you a couple nuggets based on personal history. DON'T SKIP CLASS. Also, join study groups. That is beneficial for a variety of reasons, better understanding of the class material being the most obvious, but making friends outside your dorm (a wider range of friends) shouldn't be underestimated. Use any study guides you can get your hands on. My first semester freshman year grades sucked because I really didn't understand what they were looking for in my essay tests of which I seemed to have tons. If I'd seen previous tests I would have had a firmer grasp of what the professor was looking for, beyond material knowledge.
