First, work on making yourself more marketable to the chapters. Raise your grades and get involved in other campus activities.
Next, having gone through recruitment, I feel that you can make a pretty informed decision as to the chapters you will fit in with and those that you won't. Be sure to keep in close contact with the recruitment chairs for the chapters that you like so that you might participate in COB/COR if it is available.
Finally, there is nothing keeping you from trying formal recruitment again next year. If you make yourself more marketable and have contacts within the Greek community, this should improve (notice I didn't say guarantee) your chances eventually.
I can't speak for your campus but age might not be a factor if you don't act older than the other PNMs. In the future, I'd focus on your class standing and not your age.
