This is something that we deal with a lot with girls going through rush but I bet the same applies for the guys. Were you looking at the chapters who are like you or the ones you would like to be? I don't know you so I'm going to make up a persona for you as an example. You're a nice guy, pretty smart, a little geeky, not bad looking but nobody's gonna accuse you of being Brad Pitt. The 2 fraternities you decided were the ones you should focus on are the Brad Pitts of campus, the ones where the girls positively humiliate themselves to hang out with, fanciest houses on campus. Now, there's nothing wrong with you and there's nothing wrong with them, but that is not a good fit. And because these guys are pros, you probably got a sense of welcome from them that made you mislead yourself.

If you have an opportunity, and some of the fraternities might not be done rushing, I would keep going or try again. Think about what you might have done wrong or what you might have done better. You asked about clothes. Were you dressed right? Did you hang out an appropriate amount of time - not too short, not too long? How's your grooming? How are your conversation skills?
