You will have problems with top tier, but you might still have a chance with a few of the others. Hope you know girls in the houses who would be willing to fight for you. All your gpa says is that you don't care about grades. That will hurt you because we all compete to see who gets the highest gaps.

I'm out of state and don't know a soul. My gpa is actually a 2.9

I wouldn't worry so much about your gpa. I would worry more about not knowing a soul. Without knowing anyone, you can expect to be cut by the top six.

2.8 is the cut off point for several sororities. They really don't care what your GPA is as long as its above what is required for them to invite you back, if it is under that there's absolutely nothing they can do. It really is all about who you know. Connections are a must, even for lower tier houses. The only house that you have a chance at with no connection at all is Theta or ADPi

Maybe Pi phi. But not phi Mu with a gpa below a 3.0. At least without knowing somebody in house. Like any of the top six houses, if nobody knows you and you have below a 3.0, you will automatically be cut after the first round. The only exception would be if you or one of your parents were extremely rich and/or famous, and then only if they like you.

What about phi mu with above a 3.0 but no friends in the chapter?

Depends of so many many factors. Phi Mu is a respected sorority on campus. Everybody discounts them because they aren't top three, but they still have a rich history on campus and many girls want to be phi Mu going into rush. I'm not a phi Mu, but I did pref them. You might last longer with them than a top house, but without knowing anyone willing to step up and fight for you, I don't think you will get past skit. I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

Just trying to keep it real here. If you go through Ole Miss rush not knowing anyone and a grade risk you really need to be prepared to accept a bid from any house that gives it to you. Literally a thousand other girls already have friends and better grades so you're not going to get fought over. You're the kind of PNM that's easy to cut because no one knows your name and no one will be calling us to complain about it. Don't take it personally, we could love your personality when we talk to you but you won't last compared to other PNMs.

We will meet a girl and fall in love with her. After getting to know her our hearts always break when we find out her gpa is below a 3.0 because there is very little we will be able to do for her. Most girls will gpas below a 3.0 will be automatically cut after the first or second round if she is lucky. Some get by because of alumni pull, or famous daddies, or because they are super fun, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
