I had the same problem, my grades were too low, so I worked really hard freshman year to make sure my grades were as high as they could be so that I could rush and also for my future. This means that I didn't go out as much as my friends who joined sororities as freshmen, but my GPA was super solid (3.9-4.0 range) and I developed study skills and set myself up for success. I rushed as a sophomore, and got into a sorority that two of my friends were in. They had casually introduced me to other sisters during freshman year, and I didn't even realize that my friends were working on the sorority side to recruit me, but in retrospect I can see that they definitely were. So I was very happy when I got a bid to my house, and I am happy to this day, even though people on this website would call it a less popular house. The thing about going through as a sophomore is that it's way harder. The houses don't really want you because they're looking for freshmen primarily. And the fact that you have friends in the houses makes things significantly harder for you as a PNM, because you're expecting to have your friends pull for you...and I'm sure that they will, but it wasn't until after I had joined my sorority that I finally realized how hard it is to pull for someone on the other side. Your friend can be beautiful and smart and actively involved in activities, and the chapter could have had a great time meeting her...but membership selection can still be...rough.
