But looking back, the sororities that look for high GPA's and activities cut me pretty fast... that is what puzzles me.
Well, had you listed both sororities on your bid card and been honestly willing to accept a bid from either, according to the way Bama does placement, you'd be in a sorority today. That one thing did make a huge difference.

Since it seems that you preferred not getting a bid to getting a bid to that one group, it really cut your chances.

As far as the other aspects, there's no way to know why you were released. The groups are looking for a total package of excellent character, great grades, great activities, wonderful personality, cute appearance, and even then each group only gets to invite a certain number of young women to membership each year. If some of the other girls going through knew more members from high school, etc, that puts you at a little disadvantage sometimes.

Don't beat yourself up about it. You kept yourself eligible for COB if any are offered at the groups you are interested in.
