Additionally, local chapter requirements may not be lower than those set by the national organization. This summer our minimum required GPA to receive a bid was increased to 3.2 at the national convention. This reflects the increasing realization that a strong high school GPA is still the best predictor of academic success in college, which is the necessary foundation for a successful Greek experience. So, not only are you below the existing minimum "red light" range, you would be fighting against the trend of increasing academic membership requirements.
Unfortunately, rushing as a sophomore has its own set of risks and downsides. Sororities prefer issuing bids to freshmen who will spend 4 years in the chapter vs a sophomore who may only spend 3. Unless you can really get plugged in with a friend group in a particular chapter who can strongly advocate for you as a sophomore, I am not optimistic about that option for you either. Although, statistically it is probably better because the probability of getting a bid as a freshman with a 2.6 GPA absent super-legacy status is near zero.
