You didn't mention it, but are the chapters who invited you back the ones that were smaller, more "awkward," the ones the other girls didn't rave about? THOSE are going to be your options. If one of those chapters is doing informal, I'd consider taking them up on it. Because of your age, you might want to look at what alumna life is like for those sororities. You may have one year in this smaller chapter where you might well find out they're great girls, and then a lifetime of fantastic sisterhood. But that "top" chapter that cut you this year is not going to take you next year unless something really big changes, like you've become best friends with half the chapter. And even then it's unlikely.

I wasn't looking for a top chapter. I was looking for a right fit and if that's where I end up next year I'll accept it.
The only reason I wanted certain chapters was because they seemed to be the prime example of what a sorority should be. It's silly but I thought they wanted me too. They had such strong bonds of sisterhood. They weren't just best friends they were like sisters. They called each other out on their BS and would get into silly arguments. I just didn't get that from the two sororities that invited me to Pref. Night. Even my rho chi told me she was surprised I wasn't invited to her chapter's pref. night (this was all said after I withdrew). I wasn't looking for a top chapter. I was looking for a right fit and if the more "awkward" chapters is where I end up next year I can decide what to do then.
