Actually, what they would probably say is (and I'm surprised nobody has already), the reason you didn't get a bid was you dropped out of formal recruitment with invites to 2 preference parties left on the table. If you had attended those parties and listed those 2 chapters on your preference card, it's almost certain (unless you're from one of the "special snowflake" kind of schools that does recruitment its own funky way) that would you have received a bid to one of them.

But that's neither here not there at this point, so to answer your question. Yes, try recruitment one more time, but please keep an open mind. If you are cut by your first choice, look at your remaining options with fresh eyes and find something to love there.

Good luck!

Yes, there was a fairly recent one that ended with a bid:
