2. To answer this question, you really do have to take a good look at yourself and examine why it is you think you didn't receive a bid. Example: did you have bad grades, were you not as outgoing as other PNMs, did you not present yourself well etc? Sometimes that takes some time to figure out and work on.
3. Again, that's something else to figure out on your own. For example: some people realize that all the other PNMs knew sorority members outside of recruitment, had recs, etc. and they didn't. So they set out to give themselves that advantage next year.
A good piece of advice is if you are a 2nd time PNM at a more competitive school, be sure to be open-minded. I find it funny when someone goes through a second time with only certain chapters that they will join. It almost never ends well.

1. Just for clarification, by "worth it" I mean is not worth it to me, as I want it very much. By worth it I mean in a semi-competitive school, is it worth it to try.
2/3. I see you're point that these are things I need to look at for myself, but are there things that look good on resumes? And meeting current girls in sororities, if only I had some in my classes. >.< The only classes I have them in are the 1000+ lecture halls that have assigned seating that I don't sit next to any of them. Maybe next semester.
Oh, and I agree at being open minded. I was very open minded the first time and fell in love with a chapter I'd never looked at before. I do know that when I go through a second time (if I do), I'll have to be even more open minded as a pledge class can dramatically change a chapter so everything I thought this year will be null and void.
