We have hosted international exchange students for years and one thing I've noticed is that many think they can play on a competitive sports team at school without a tryout several months earlier. This is often not possible. Especially at big schools, the competition for athletic teams is intense and many of the aspirants have had years and years of coaching and experience. At some schools, many more are cut than make the team.
In college, you can play club sports or intramural sports; the players don't get money or scholarships. Therefore, if you pledged a sorority, you might play for their intramural team, or you could play for your dorm team if you didn't pledge.
