All SEC schools are competitive and unfortunately you go to one with many chapters. When I went through recruitment at my SEC school I had no idea what I was getting into. I'm a 1st generation with a good resume and I didn't do an extensive amount of research about greek life before recruitment. I knew they were supposed to value leadership and grades but I didn't realize they cared less about my resume and more about just chatting with me. I thought my 1st round went great. I came back to find only 2 houses on my list.
What you have to do is think about why you're going through recruitment. If it's truly to find it a sisterhood then it doesn't matter how many houses you have left. Put your all in the ones you do have left. I did that and had those two until the end. I knew I'd be happy in either which is why when I didn't receive the one I preffed, it was okay. I'm happy with the greek experience I've had.
Give the houses on your list a chance. Go to each party and be the best version of yourself. Focus on the connections you're making. List your preferences by where you feel you'd be more at home. Even if you don't have that feeling left keep going. Odds are you won't find your home though COB so you may as well accept a bid once you make it to pref and really throw yourself in and try. You'll regret quitting now and wondering what could have been instead of trying and knowing for sure.
Everything will be okay. Rejection hurts. But the chapters that are still on your list see something in you. They picked you. So the least you can do is try to figure out what they saw.
