At a big school with a big recruitment, it's entirely possible to stand out so little that you slip through the cracks. Members just tend to assume that you'll pledge and with all the other hoopla going on, they don't even noticed that you're not at the next round of parties.
I know every year at Alabama there are girls who you look at later and can't figure out why they didn't pledge. Of course it's often that they dropped after setting their sights on the wrong groups, but I've seen where some sororities figured Allie Allthat is going to pledge X or Y or Z and dropped her, while X thought Z would pledge her and dropped her early....and so on.
Sometimes they just didn't have someone inside who advocated strong enough for them.
Good for you for staying in there. Usually there are a WHOLE LOT more non-greek than greek groups. And the older you get the less it matters.
