Well, I don't think you should say that to one of the ones who asked you back. Can you say something like, "I dropped out last year, and want to go through recruitment again because I realize being in a sorority is something I would really like to do."
I really don't think anyone will ask you directly during rush - but I still am not sure what type of campus you are on and what their Greek system is like, which has bearing on this advice - BUT it wouldn't hurt to start getting your story out there. Do not say to anyone that you dropped out because you didn't get the two houses you wanted. The others who invited you back will cut you because it is common knowledge that you don't want them.
I think you need to convey that you made a rash decision and that now that some time has gone by, you can see that all of the houses are places you could be happy. And, I think others on GC will support that advice. There are great girls in every house. If you want to be in a sorority, you may need to open yourself up to the option of every house on campus. It soulnds like the one house that asked you back to informal, really liked you.
All in all, it sounds like you would like to try again. One more thing, did you say that your grades were not good and you think that is the reason you were cut? If so, say that. "Last year my grades were not as good as they should have been but I have worked hard this year and brought them up to a 4.0, so I would like to go back through rush."
