What year in school are you?

Please, please go back and edit your post for spelling and grammar so it's easier for others to read and give you accurate advice.

The search function is your friend. There are a million posts here about unsuccessful recruitments. You are not alone.

I'm sorry to hear that. You are certainly not the only person to not receive a bid. These posts may be helpful to you:

I am sorry things didn't work out for you in rush and I don't know if this is what you want to hear but at this point the best thing you can do is to suck it up and move on, now matter how difficult or painful that is . If your school is like most others the non greeks outnumber the greeks by a substantial margin. Make non greek friends, get involved in non greek activities and leave the greek thing behind.

get involved in some activities/clubs on campus and since you will only be a sophomore, decide if you might want to rush again. if you think you might, start trying to secure recommendations for all 4 of the sororities.
