This.

Membership section is private to each group, but there are some general things that we can tell you.

It's usually a group decision. One person can't usually guarantee you a bid, even if she is an officer. Even being friends with a small faction of the chapter isn't a guarantee.

Lots of factors usually go into the decision - grades, extracurriculars, risk management considerations... Your friends may have pulled for you, but the chapter as a whole looks at all the factors, not just who you are friends with.

Even if you were a great candidate, many chapters have more women applying for a COB spot than they have spots. The chapter as a whole may have liked you, but not had enough spots for everyone they liked. Your friends may have pulled really hard for you, but someone else may have had a group of their friends pulling really hard for her, too.

We don't know. Your friends can't tell you. Membership selection is private.

Sorry. It's tough.
