Absolute truth.

You are right 
I felt I clicked with Toy Story.
On pref night I went to:
Toy Story - I really liked this one. I talked to the same girl as yesterday. The ceremony was great and I felt really comfortable.
Hercules - Wasn't too bad, the girls I had a conversation with didn't really click with me and neither did the rushees with me. They were nice though and their ceremony was fine.
Enchanted - We stood for a while and my feet hurt. Wasn't really interested.

I ranked 2 out of 3 so I knew getting the call was a possibility.

Speaking as someone who also did not get a bid when I went through NPC recruitment, this community has some of the most supportive women I've had the privilege to "meet." So, stick around. Support others.
I hope that you will look into COB if it's an option. (Disclaimer: I know less than absolutely nothing about recruitment at your school, or if COB is an option.)

Do something totally self indulgent, you've earned it. :-) Whether it's Ben & Jerry's, online shopping, watching trashy TV...just do something that makes it feel a little less bad. And in a few days it will feel even less bad. You'll be just fine at Penn State whether you COB or not. It's a great school with tons of opportunities to make connections!

Well, you took a chance and that's okay. I know you felt like you clicked with Toy Story, and being a pref means at some level you did. They just made stronger connections with other girls. That doesn't mean you have to be done. Formal recruitment may not be your way to stand out. Get to know women in sororities IRL. COB happens when they reset total and if you are ready, you may have a chance to get a bid. When the hurt has faded a little, call the Greek Life office and ask about informal recruitment.
