Sororities themselves have minimum GPA requirements. If the 2.5 is a minimum for recruitment that likely means that that is the lowest minimum GPA that any of the sororities on campus will accept. On some campuses chapters will take "grade risks", but that is the exception to the rule. No one here can tell you whether or not the director of greek life can "bend it"...you'd have to ask her.

Word to the wise, though, just because some of your friends in a sorority like you and would like for you to be a sister does not mean that the chapter as a whole wants to extend you a bid. Going through recruitment with a "I know they want me" attitude is not the best idea, if you can go through recruitment in the first place. Even if the girls in the chapter really like you as a person, you're still competing against girls that they might also like a lot and that probably have above a 2.5 GPA. Also, as others have said, being in a sorority does not mean you go to social events and a required meeting once a week. There will be many other requirements, both of your time and money. With your GPA so low you need to understand exactly what you're getting into.
