Grades and Recruitment

[ribs]

hey there! i'm a sophomore at a big ten school and i went through formal recruitment this fall and was severely disappointed-- not with the girls, but with the results. (i actually went in with a negative attitude about greek life, and came out completely ridded of all of the misconceptions i had) my school has 17 sororities that formally rush, and i was really surprised that i only had 5 out of the 13 i could've had. i didn't know what i did wrong and was so devastated that i dropped, but it'd been brought to my attention that my grades could have done me in, seeing as i only have a 2.97.

i guess my question is, if i can get my gpa up above a 3.0 after this semester, will that really do me any good? is there a chance i could do better in informal recruitment?

i realize that there's no way you guys could know how my school's sororities work, and you have no idea why they even dropped me in the first place (heck, even i don't know!), but i'm asking anyway, maybe for some insights and things i could do to better my chances this coming spring.
