PS- As for the depledging process, it is pretty informal in my experience. I was president of my pledge class, and the guys who dropped out of my class either came to me or to their big brother to talk things over and then turn in their pledge pin and other materials. The chapter will deal with all the paperwork issues and you won't have to sign anything.
If you do not have a big brother yet or a pledge class president you want to approach, talk to an officer in the fraternity.
The chapter wanted you since they gave you a bid, so you at least owe them the courtesy of having an honest conversation with someone when you leave.
And that can impact your future pledging opportunities as well. Even at large schools the Greek community is a small world. How you go about the depledging process will say a lot about your character and if you handle it like a man then you should not have trouble rushing again and going somewhere else.
But if you just disappear and say f*** it, that will come back to bite you. During rush, I often checked in with friends at other houses to get their take on guys coming through- especially sophomores who might have had a past elsewhere. So if you decide to leave, be honest and up front about why and leave on good terms.
