This is why we even have RFM now days to prevent this from happening, but sometimes it still does. Like I said, sometimes good girls still do fall through the cracks. Check after recruitment and see if any of the chapters are doing COB to fill any remaining spots. Please do not take this as an indictment of you. Decisions are made quickly on little information, and if you asked anyone in these chapters about you, they'd probably have something good to say about you. Recruitment can be tough, and decisions to release PNMs can be made by a razor's edge.
Pardon the lane swerve, but I know a girl this (almost) happened to. During rush she hadn't been cut at all and was invited back to every sorority she wanted. The day before pref you can go to five chapters, and then pref is two. She went to five, four of which are the classic "Top 4" at this campus, and one is a middle tier. Right before pref she was dropped from all four of the Top 4 but luckily did receive a bid to the middle tier. But if it was structured the way it had been the year before and the year after (4 to 2), she would have likely had the four most competitive sororities before pref and then not receive a single invite to pref despite not being cut prior.

So I can see situations where girls coast right on by the early rounds with no cuts, cut groups that actually might want to pledge her, and then be cut by their remaining groups.
