2.4 GPA- should I even bother?

[80sbabe]

I'm going to be a freshman at an SEC school. My high school GPA is a 2.43. There are several reasons why it is so low, but to sum it up: I was not interested in school and skipped a lot of class. I feel like I make up for it other areas, though- my ACT score is a 32, I was involved in lots of extracurricular and community service, I am a legacy, and I feel like I am attractive, sociable, and present myself well. I am very very committed to making GREAT grades in college, but I know most sororities will not want to take a grade risk.

I know I will get cut automatically from most, if not all sororities because of my grades. Is it even worth it to go through recruitment?
