Sororities are NOT looking for someone who wants to get something from them - i.e. a tool to help them improve their social skills - they are looking for someone who will GIVE to the group. Your Asperger's syndrome is irrelevant as far as that's concerned - anyone else who said "I want to join a sorority because I suck at interacting with men" or something of the like would receive a similar response from me. If you want to improve your social skills, try a Dale Carnegie course or something else where you can get more concrete instruction on what you're doing wrong.
Saying that the sororities need to change to suit you does not win you any points, and if you're carrying that attitude into rush you will not receive a bid.
Also, as BC mentioned, if your GPA fell below what the sororities require locally and/or nationally, they may have been REQUIRED to cut you and it has zero to do with any interactions you had. Even if you met the GPA requirement that Panhellenic had for women to rush, it may have fallen below what the chapters required. (Yes this is a stupid concept, but that's another thread.)
