Rushing a third time

[DubaiSis]

If you got invited back to one house after round one, the order in which you ranked the houses did not come into play. That would only have mattered if you'd ranked realistic choices low, then had a full schedule with some houses being dropped and THEN got cut heavily. Because informal rush works so differently from formal, I'd feel free to go through again, but you need to spend some quality time with yourself figuring out what went wrong. Getting cut that heavily after round one means there was something pretty seriously off. My instinct would be your high school GPA wasn't good enough to make the cut, but if it wasn't that, what else could it have been? Did you go in dressed messy, dirty, ugly? Did you say goofy shit that you thought would make you memorable? Think about your interests, your appearance, etc. and try to compare yourself to the other girls going through. You don't have to be the prettiest girl on the block to succeed at rush but you do need to be presentable. You don't need to restrict your conversation to boring and predictable, but if you're so off the wall they think you're strange, then that's going to be a problem.

And by the way, the girls in the house knew how informal goes. They were being vague with you as a kind way of not telling you when the next step was, since you weren't going to be there. Sorry to be blunt, but if you were talking to a chapter officer, she knew exactly what their process is.
