Willala: I am not a regular poster here on GreekChat, but I just happened to see your post this morning, and I just wanted to try to give you a hug via the internet. Here are some thoughts (in no particular order):
1. Concentrate on the houses that have invited you back. They see things in you that make them interested in having you as a sister.
2. What is done is done, so don't look back. If you continue on with Greek life, you will see "...on the other side" that the recruitment process requires the houses to release a certain number of girls each round. Nobody on here can tell you why you were released, so just move forward. The worst thing you can do is compare yourself with other girls going through right now. You have no idea what their circumstances might be.
3. Rejection sucks. Any sort of rejection. But recruitment can be brutal. You mention you have a stellar GPA and lots of activities. But you attend UGA. Absent some really unusual circumstances every student entering UGA (...and UT, and UCLA, and UW, etc.) is going to have a really high GPA and outstanding activities.
4. Concentrate on point number 1 above. It is hard to see other girls with full schedules, but who knows what will happen to them tomorrow? Put the negativity out of your mind. If you visit the houses you have left still fixated on the sting of getting cut at other houses, there is a chance the "real you" might get masked by that negativity. I am not familiar with the UGA Greek system, but I can pretty much guarantee that all of the houses are stellar.
5. Finally: See point number 1 above.
Hang in there. There was something about your post that makes me think you are a really sweet girl (which is why I responded, instead of being a responsible mom and start my son's breakfast immediately). My guess is you have a lot to offer the groups that invited you back, and they have a lot to offer you. Again, see point number 1 above.
Good luck with the rest of recruitment!
