I would hang in there. Give it a second chance. Perhaps there are some concerns not voiced to you (perhaps they didn't feel comfortable doing so). Work hard with your big brother to find out more "why".
I ran into a similar issue, though it was brought to my attention before the I vote was taken. Even though I knew all the members, there were some that didn't "know" me. Just going to parties and functions sometimes isn't enough. My big told me who some of them were, and I made it a point to find times to hang out and get to know them, and me, better. I think it helped. There were some perceptions I think they had of me that just weren't true, but they didn't really know me that well to know for sure.
But the best advice I can give you is what my big gave me: don't give up. If you want it bad enough, others will see it. Don't be afraid to confess faults.
