Also, I wonder if it's worth trying to become friends with a few of the sisters without the official vote. There are a lot of reasons you could have been denied affiliation that have nothing to do with you personally (including raw numbers and internal politics). If you can find a way to be above it and try to develop some friendships, maybe a vote can happen again at some point in the future.
But that can only happen if you are not bitter or angry, so regardless of how easy or valid those feelings are right now, try to not be. Even if what you want to do is hurl bricks through their windows
