Sadly, it's just one of those things. Go in with an open mind, which sounds like you did before and hope for the best. One thing you didn't mention. Were your grades acceptable before? The chapters all have different standards but probably very close. If you didn't meet them, it doesn't matter how well everything was going. If that was the case, hopefully you're in a better place now.
There could also have been some technical issues (I'm not going to get into RFM here - you can do a search) that made them make heavier than normal cuts after round 2. Ideally the cuts are even between each round so you don't get a big surprise like this, but that's all water under the bridge. Don't bring it up - they know. Just be enthusiastic and glad to be there. And make sure you are expressing interest without seeming desperate.
And if it doesn't work, remember, it's not the end of the world. There are other ways for you to have a happy and fulfilled college experience. Good luck! We here wish everyone (well just about, there are a few we root against) could find their perfect match. Let us know!
