Do any of the following apply to you?

-low GPA
-junior/senior standing
-not having recommendations if most PNMs at your campus do
-unkempt appearance
-come off as very shy and/or awkward

While we won't be able to tell you why you were cut by every chapter (because we seriously don't know), if one or more of the above describe you, that might give you an idea.

Re-rushers at even the most competitive schools do get bids (and therefore invites) but the successful ones usually have several things in common:

1. A good GPA
2. Campus involvement/leadership
3. Friends in chapters
4. An open mind to ALL chapters
5. Recs if they are important at your campus
6. Polished appearance
7. Good conversation skills
8. A good fit with a chapter

If you can speculate and be honest with yourself as to what went wrong and you fix things to make yourself a better candidate, you may just have a shot.

As I recall, lilzetakitten actually re-rushed (successfully, obviously) after being cut from every chapter. Maybe she'll pipe in with her story or you can PM her?
