you may find a fellow org.member is also a member of a sorority and you could network thru her. i would not advise contacting any sorority with the intention of finding out "what went wrong"- it would sound like too much sour grapes, no matter how diplomatic you were. do contact panhellenic to find out about the next membership opportunities for you, and have them add your name to the list. if your grades are not "up to snuff" then you will have to work hard to raise that gpa-most sororities have a minimum gpa requirement. and don't dwell on the past-if you rush again, go in with a positive, self-assured attitude. people like to be around positive people. best of luck!

I would also like to express like others have about not contacting the sororities to find out "what went wrong." While not every individual member may know why someone did not get a bid, those that do are often bound by secrecy not to reveal those kinda of things. It's considered business of the sorority and is only for the knowledge of the initiated members to know. Like FSUZeta has said, contact the Panhellenic office for membership opportunities.
