I'm sorry that you're hurting. No one here can answer your question because they were not in the rooms with you during recruitment and they were not sitting in the membership selection meeting afterwards (or if they were, they can't talk about it.)
You can always try again, and I would encourage you to do so. For some PNM's it can take two or three tries (depending on your campus.) Many times it helps if you have sisters pulling for you in their respective houses, so try to get to know some sorority members along with the new members that you meet on your dorm floor or around campus. Get involved with campus activities because that will give you a higher profile. If your college has an organization that books concerts and events, I would recommend that one in particular, as it can make you very popular very quickly!
I used to be somewhat shy as well, so I do feel for you. The way to get past that is by going to lots of parties and other social events. You have to get used to walking up to complete strangers, introducing yourself, and starting a conversation. It's not as hard as it sounds because there are some pretty standard opening lines in college including where are you from, what dorm do you live in, what major are you pursuing, etc.
Good luck to you and let us know how things go. College is an exciting, fun time and I can guarantee you that in all likelihood you will have a very enjoyable experience whether you are in a sorority or not.
