The sororities that I have left I can not see myself enjoying and every time I talk to girls in them we just don't match up. At my school this year ZTA is colonizing and I want to also go out for them which means I can not accept any other bids. I think it would be awesome to be a founding member but they too have values. I set up a 1 on 1 meeting with on of the recruits and even though my GPA is on the lower end I am able to justify it because I did very bad in a 4 credit class which I am now retaking to replace the old grade and I feel much more comfortable with my professor this semester. I feel like the 3o minutes we got to talk to a girl in all of the other chapters did me no justice because I did not talk about my grades with them so they had no idea that my GPA is a work in progress. I also am in a lot of clubs and organizations on campus and play a club sport. I was wondering if I should even try to become a part of a colonizing sorority or if I should just stay away because of my GPA.
(yes my GPA is high enough to meet the requirements to rush)

The only way to get a bid is to go out for the colony, but I would at least stick it out with the chapters you have left through Pref night before you decide to drop. The chapters you still have like you enough to keep inviting you back despite your GPA and sophomore status, and sometimes Pref can completely change your opinion on a chapter. I find it hard to believe that you have four chapters left and have not enjoyed talking to any of them. As a sophomore with a low GPA, you don't have the liberty of picking favorite chapters before recruitment-all the power is in the hands of the sororities.
