The only thing I can think of that makes the OP's story about the "letter" conceivable:

If a member of sorority A wrote a letter to her friends who are members of sororities B and C revealing something completely, insanely awful about a PNM, that might result in a cut for sororities B and C as well as A. It would have to be a story that was not only awful, but so believable that it absolutely had to be true, at least from the points of view of the chapters involved.

I get along great with all of her sisters and many of them spoke highly of me to their President and about offering me a bid. However, their President spoke to my former roommate and the young woman stood firm. This was very disappointing, especially because I don't have a problem with her.

When she found out about the same thing I did with my former roommate (she did digging because she heard I received a bid from the sorority but turned it down) she could not officially confirm or deny if we knew the same thing, but it's very likely that the XYZ member was telling the truth about writing the letter. I do not know who XYZ wrote the letter to, but was told that it was above her head when my friend who is the pres tried to get me a bid and said it was "politics" and that I didn't do anything wrong, it was just someone being stubborn and holding a grudge.

Member from XYZ wrote a letter to someone in the Greek system two years ago. Other girls in XYZ told the XYZ president I should join. XYZ President talked to my former roommate/suitemate. Roomie told XYZ Pres that she will not withdraw her letter and that if I am offered a bid, she will drop. XYZ Sorority sister of XYZ roomie was present during this conversation.
The more I read all of this, the more confused I get. And the more I wonder how the OP knows so much about this letter.

Who did the letter go to? Obviously the Panhellenic President is her new bff, so it couldn't have been her And I highly doubt that if it went to the Greek Life Advisor that he/she would have ruined the OP's chances at receiving a bid.

This is all a little unbelievable, in my opinion.
