low gpa rush outcomes ???

for my fall semester of my freshman year i studied in florida. however i did not do well because i was going through family things that made it very hard for me to do my best. i ended up making a 3.0 that semester and then for the spring semester i wanted a new start and transferred to LSU! i lived in miller and told many girls i wanted to rush but they all scared me to the point that i had to make this post to find out some truth.. unfortunately i did poorly my spring semester freshman year too also bc of having a hard time making friends and the fact i had to adjust becuz you know, transfer student and all. point is i failed a class but applied for grade exclusion. when registering for rush i mentioned this however so the chapters know i plan to retake the class this semester! with my dual enrollment from high school + my transfer credit from florida + my LSU credit this past semester i have a 3.09 gpa... will this make it hard for me to get into a sorority?? which houses can i expect to cut me? also, if i explain my situation so that they understand, would they be willing to consider giving me a chance to bring my grades up/prove myself ? my major is biology so could that also cut me some slack? also i know they like to cut sophomores (as i found out from some new friends in sororities this past semester, they're in kd, tri delt, chi o, pi phi, adpi) but its not like i had the choice to rush at LSU from the very start since i am a transfer student/was going through family things, can this help my situation? so many questions but just scared bc of everything my new friends have been saying, so if someone could please answer !!!!!! keep in mind I'm from florida originally so i don't know much about LSU rush
