You have no friends at your college but all the girls in your "fave" sorority want you to join. Allrighty then.

There are numerous clubs and organizations that you can join on a college campus. To say that you have no friends because you're not in a sorority is ridiculous.
I know that it would be great to get a bid, however, school comes first (as it should with any organization). Focus on that.

Yeah, I do understand how you feel, but that doesn't make it okay to come on here and act like a bitch. Joining a sorority doesn't mean your instant best friends with everyone, it takes work to build those kind of relationships, in and out of Greek Life. If you dedicate some serious effort to your studies, you might be able to get your GPA up high enough for you to rush. If it doesn't happen this semester, there will still be other chances for you to rush. It's not like your life is over if you pledge later on in your college career. Granted, it is much harder to get a bid as an upperclassman, but it is possible. I don't know why I'm helping you, but there you go.

It's simple:
1) Study.
2) Go through recruitment later on.
This isn't difficult.
But hey, we're the dumb ones. What do we know?

You can't always get what you want.

Once again, you do not know that the "sorority" wants you. Even if a few girls would like to have you as a sister, that does not mean the CHAPTER wants you as a sister. The "I know they want me" attitude will not work for you. I promise you this.
The question about exceptions has been answered. On SOME campuses SOME chapters will take grade risks. However I've personally never heard of a bid being extended to someone with a 2.12 college GPA. Regardless, your attitude, inability to write on a high school level (much less college), and admitted track record of skipping class will not help you. Focus on school. Find a club to join that will not take the time that a sorority would.
And lastly, joining a sorority does not mean you automatically have a bunch of besties. True friendship takes work.
ETA: If you could not handle a normal class load it is very, very unlikely you could successfully take more classes than normally allowed this summer. Part of college is learning to do things like communicate with your advisor to find an academic plan that you can handle so that your GPA will not be so low in the future. This does not mean you should take an overload of classes just to "get into a sorority" as a) you are in college to get a degree...anything else is secondary and b) I don't care how awesome you think you are, a bid is not guaranteed to anyone.
