I have signed up for formal recruitment where I am required to visit all 4 houses and of course I will be some what embarassed to re visit the house that turned me down. So, I need tips on how to hold a great conversation and to not be nervous when re-visiting the first house. Thanks for reading!
The fact that you only went to one house most likely played a far bigger role in your not getting a bid. To be blunt, you should be more embarrassed about visiting the houses you didn't give a chance than the one that didn't bid you. If anyone is going to feel kind of weird, it's the sisters, not you.

Also: don't listen to what a "friend of a sister" says. She was not in the room with the sorority when they discussed you and voted on you. Don't get hung up on the "I'm shy" thing when there's a possibility this was just something the sister pulled out of her rear end to get your mutual friend to leave her alone about it.
