After the year was up I inquired again but they said my bid had expired.
I have really wanted to join a sorority and now I am a senior. There was a sorority colonizing on my campus and I interviewed but was not invited to move forward. I was a bit surprised as I was under the impression that a colonizing sorority needs to build an entire sorority (freshmen, sophomore, junior and senior). In addition, I am incredibly involved on campus with leadership positions and great internships. I was a bit surprised to not receive an offer. I was wondering if I could find out why I did not? Or if anyone has any theories? How do theses processes work for colonizing sororities and selections?
Does anyone have any recommendations moving forward? I am really disappointed as I wanted to join.

I really wanted to be a part of greek life before I graduate, I've always felt it was a missing piece in my college career which is why I am so disappointed. It doesn't look like I have any options left.

The Greek Life office will not know. This is private info that only the group knows, and probably very few in the group know it - only the women selecting those who would receive bids. Evenif you talked to them, they would not tell you.
