Newbie,
Dry your eyes, take a deep breath and smile.
Sorry you're so stressed. One way or the other, the decision will be made soon -- and you will be happy with it. Remember, it's not irreversible. According to admissions officers I talked with at both Northwestern and Indiana, 40 to 60% of students who start college end up changing their major, their college or their university (or all three) before graduation.
Being confused, scared and (unfortunately) sometimes sad is part of your job as a teenager. I've been one and raised three.
Do what will make you happy. Join the sorority that you feel most comfortable with (remember to consider that when looking at finances). Major in something you enjoy.
As for Rudey's advice -- add investment banking or whatever to the "professions" list if you want. I won't argue with it because I'm not in that profession. In some cases, though, this "top ten" stuff is pure recruiting blather. A fraternity brother of mine graduated from our nice mid-sized state supported school -- and then went to Harvard for his MBA. As somebody who has hired other people, including entry level positions, I stand by my comments above.
You're a great kid. You will succeed in life because of your attitude and wonderful outlook on life. Things will work out for you.
