2.4 GPA- should I even bother?

Thanks to all who responded. I really just wanted to join a sorority so I could make friends and because my mom was in one. I'm not quite as passionate about Greek life as others seem to be... so maybe it's not for me.

Just out of curiosity, though: what would be the absolute *minimum* GPA a freshman would need to have a chance?

Edit: Hartofsec- thank you! I was able to get my out-of-state tuition waived, but you are so right. I will certainly take your advice to "hart"

At my school they strongly suggest you have a minimum of 3.0 just to go through recruitment and be successful.

Here is the Spring 2013 grade report for chapters at Bama, for instance:

You're talking to a bunch of people who are Greek and love greek life. I think (almost) everyone here would encourage you to go greek because it does have numerous benefits, but we're just encouraging you to wait until your GPA is up to what it really needs to be in order to have the best results with recruitment.
