Re-Rush vs New Chapter vs Give Up

So I’m currently a freshman at the University of Rhode Island. I rushed this past fall but ended up being cut from every house except one (and I don’t think that one made cuts) after round one. I dropped round two. I kinda took it as a sign that Greek Life wasn’t where I belonged. I’m not really sure what I did wrong to get cut from all those houses. I had some awkward conversations but a few really good ones that I still got cut from. I heard looks matter but I really thought I was okay in that department. I didn’t have the highest GPA, but I heard a 3.0 was all you needed and I had that. At the time, I really just took it as a sign from God that I wasn’t meant to join Greek Life, because I really don’t know why else I would have had cuts that deep. I’ve gotten involved in several other clubs and made friends outside of Greek Life, but I still just feel like something is missing. Many of my family members (not my mom though, I’m not a legacy anywhere) were in sororities and are still close with their sisters and active as alumni. I really wanted something values-based with more of a lifelong bond and I just haven’t found that anywhere else on campus. I kinda thought I’d be in a sorority for as long as I could remember, and now I’m just not and it doesn’t feel right. Is it worth it to re-rush next year? There is also a colony coming back to campus next year that I’ve been considering. I’ve heard it’s a lot of work though and I’m a bit nervous about the time commitment. Does it make a difference that they had a chapter here before and they’re just coming back, or will it still be just as hard and time consuming? I’d also feel really bad if I did end up getting a bid to the new chapter and ended up having to drop because of the time commitment or because I really don’t belong in Greek Life. I’m just so confused on what I should do because I don’t really feel like I belong anywhere here. Any advice would be very appreciated.
