Rushing again.. :s

[ClassyLassie]

I'm worried about rushing this fall as a sophomore because I rushed last year and it didn't work out so well.

I was so excited because I only knew maybe two people going to my school upon entering my freshman year and I wanted to make some new and maybe even lifelong friends.
I went in for round one and everything seemed to go really well. All of the girls I met were really nice and easy to talk to. I admit I can be shy, but I was comfortable and enjoying my self so I wasn't being shy. The next day rolled around and I couldn't wait see what parties I would be attending that night but to my dismay, I was only invited back to 1/4 of the sororities. I was very disappointed but I decided to stick it out and see what happened but I just didn't feel at home and then some other occurrences prevented me from continuing.
I had to wonder what was wrong with me but I was later told ( and of course you can never know for sure what is true and what isn't and what may be true for some people but not others) that the reason I was cut was because of something someone had said I was doing one night the weekend before rush. It wasn't true ( I would never behave as accused, I do have self respect) and I still have no idea why someone would even care to makeup something like that about someone they don't know. Still, who knows what the real reason was.
So I still really want to be a part of a sorority. I would be the very first in my family but they are supportive. I'm just terrified that something similar will happen or I'll look foolish for trying again. I would just like some input.
