Maybe I talked about something I shouldn't have during our conversations?

I think you told the sororities yourself; you just didn't know it. You posted personal information about yourself and your preferences on the internet, making it easy to ID you. Likely, Greeks from your school learned of these postings and could have cut you for your statements that you would only consider certain sororities. Additionally, you may have made similar statements to your roommates or other Greeks, and people do talk. Likely, this combination of factors accounted for such heavy cuts. You should be more careful in the future of how you conduct yourself online.
I know you are disappointed, but you advertised that you would only consider a couple of the sororities at your school, and I'm guessing word got back to everyone. I think it is very unlikely you will be successful if you try to re-rush at this school.
I don't know what your grades were, but with the statement that your grades weren't the best/yet weren't horrible, I'm guessing your GPA fell below the minimum standards required by each chapter. That, along with your upperclassman status, likely accounted for many early cuts. As a sophomore, you needed to come in with stellar grades and a strong positive reputation.
I'm guessing a combination of iffy grades, upperclass status, and your own gossiping led to these cuts.
That's my theory, anyway. I wasn't in membership selection at these chapters, so there is no way to know for sure.
