Can you elaborate as to why you and your friends want to drop? It doesn't make sense to me that if you've found sisters you connect with, you still want to drop. I have two guesses, but I'll let you enlighten us. Remember, yours is not the last pledge class you'll see during your time as a collegian. You'll be able to help recruit the next pledge classes and you might find that you connect better with younger sisters than older sisters.

Were you happy on bid day or were you not so jazzed about your chapter throughout recruitment? Missing the first day of recruitment definitely could have altered your results, but I highly doubt any chapters would see that as a valid reason for depledging and trying to rerush.

Without knowing your campus, we really don't know the culture of depledging and rerushing. If you've heard from people at your campus it will be quite the uphill battle, it probably will. The bolded part also confuses me. Can you elaborate why you'd rather be in your current chapter than not Greek at all?
Bottom line: I think it comes down to how much effort you are willing to put in to find your place in the chapter. If you're going to be a complainer, or you just want to stay for the sake of wearing Greek letters, do everyone a favor and quit.
