How do sororities decide who they want to invite back? Is there anything I can do to increase my chances of getting a bid from another sorority the second time around?

Although sororities put a lot of emphasis on the importance of recs, the fact of the matter is that when it comes down to it, on pref night, they don't make much difference. Recs really only help you get invited back during the first round, after that, it's not based on what an alum says.
Like many other posters on this board wrote, sororities on large campuses frown on people re-rushing if they've received a bid. Chances are, someone in your "dream house" has a friend in your chapter, and they will talk if you re-rush next year. Some sororities may see this a snub to your current chapter, and they won't want anything to do with you, including your "dream chapter".
You should start focusing on why you went to this chapter on pref night, what you liked about them, and what compelled you to at least make them an option on your bid card.
