I agree that trying a second time is a very good idea. I would caution that the OP did not rush as a Freshman, which makes her a second semester Sophomore (or higher based on her credit hours). With her being in the south, we all know how difficult it is to get a bid when you are a Junior.

If the Soliloquy is going to try again, it will need to be soon, and she needn't focus on her accomplishments which she acknowledged that she did during Formal. If something does come around, she should try again but this time let her personality show through. There is nothing wrong with us to encourage it; the OP knows it will be more difficult the second time around.
