Your problem isn't "odd" in the sense that there are plenty of threads with women in similar situations.
As for what you can do differently, two areas that I can speak to with some authority are your grades and the way you communicate.
1. How were how your grades last time around and how they are now?
2. Check your application/resume. Did you use perfect spelling, punctuation and grammar? I know that some people communicate better in person than in writing, but unless you are just being really sloppy here, your written communication indicates that there's some room for improvement.
As others have said, you need to figure out what went "wrong" last time, or what you can do "better" this time around. Better grades, a more polished appearance (no dirty shoes, no heavy perfume, wearing clothing in the similar style as the other women), a stronger resume with activities and leadership positions, a better understanding of the process, stronger confidence, making yourself known to the sorority women - these all matter. The bottom line is to present yourself in the best way you can. Be yourself, but be the best version of you.
Good luck.
