I have a few friends in fraternities and they did encourage me to rush, but don't know about my GPA or depression.
I understand it's completely my fault and take full responsibility. However, is there anything I can work out with them? Such as extra study hours if my GPA is low?
If not, can I join as an honorary member or anything?
This may be my last semester. I really want to join one. What can I do now?

Extra study hours and even a 4.0 your last semester will not bring up your GPA much. I am sorry to say it, but I think the fraternity ship has sailed. You have already rushed 2 or 3 times, right? And pledging as a 22 year old is not something that works out well in most circumstances. Too much difference between you & the other pledges, unless you are on a VERY non-traditional/ commuter campus.
