I am almost positive a sorority cannot "release" you from a bid. I think what you read is that the sorority can release you or not choose you before bid distribution. Once you rank your houses you are accepting whichever bid you get. You will have to wait a full year until you rush again.

Panhellenic rules depend on what system you use. And accept/regret system lets you remove sororities from your list. Priority systems make you rank all the houses you have. Generally, after pref night, you can "intentional single preference" or "suicide" which means you only rank one house even though you have two options. This is highly discouraged in the panhellenic system, but it's not prohibited.

What's done is done. You will have to wait a year to go through recruitment again. So, why not give this other sorority a shot? They wanted you, and your first choice sorority did not. I would say at least give them a few weeks to see how it works.

But that's just me.
