The number of girls they call back and give bids to is divided into two quotas: freshman/sophomore and junior/senior. Most houses will want to fill the first quota with freshman. This means on the first day, a lot of superficial cuts will be made for sophomores based on involvement, GPA, looks, etc. It will be easier to rush as a junior. I rushed as a sophomore and dropped, but I got called back to 3 houses (my GPA was pretty bad too). Most other sophomores the average was about 5-8 houses called them back after the first day. However, after the first day I think it's fine, because I stuck with it until pref night and I got called back to all 3 of my houses the entire week. (I actually ended up really liking them but dropped because of extracurricular/job reasons). Long story short, you still got called back to a house as a sophomore (AKA the hardest year to rush) with a 2.4, so you will probably get called back more as a junior with a 3.0. If you're called back to a house and you have a lower GPA, it means they see something more tangible in you, whether it's your personality or involvement, and are less likely to superficially cut you later. Be positive, be open-minded, and go with your gut instinct. I remember I cried to my RC (LOL) when I got dropped from so many houses and she told me to focus on the ones that did call me back because those were the ones that mattered and those were the ones that will be a better fit for me.
