We don't have near enough context to render any sort of useful advice. Heck, I lost an election for President once when I was by all accounts far and away the most qualified for the job (in my mind). My brothers didn't agree, I ended up as treasurer for a year and that was pretty much it. Life goes on and I'm still very involved with my chapter even as an alumnus as the chapter adviser. Try not to be hurt and try to figure out for yourself why you were not chosen for this position. Maybe it's not personal? Maybe it is. Either way, your focus should be making things right, fixing yourself or whatever it is you did and if you're up to it, throw your hat into the ring again. Do not be petty, do not seek revenge. This is an opportunity for you to fix whatever is wrong.
