During COB, when contacting a girl to let her know that she wouldn't be receiving a bid, our COB chair just said something along the lines of "Thanks for your interest in Tri Sigma, but we unfortunately won't be extending you an invitation to membership."

Most girls were just a little upset and were just like "okay thanks bye." If a girl was really upset and asked why she wasn't given a bid, she would just tell them that membership decisions were private and could not be discussed.

When you're giving someone bad news, it's hard not to hurt their feelings. There's no real nice way to say "You can't join my sorority." The best thing to do is start off with something positive ("Thanks for your interest in XYZ"), get straight to the point, and keep it brief. I would just make the section in your booklet brief and not getting into possible reasons.
