once you sign the card that everyone signs after pref. round, whether you physically sign it or it is done on the computer, you are not allowed to rush again for a year, if you receive a bid. if your schools formal recruitment is held in january and you joined then, you must wait until january of the following year to rush again. it does not matter how long you gave your sorority a try or when you dropped your membership, so technically you could give it a try until right before your initiation, drop your membership and still be able to rerush next january, providing you do not get initiated. you would not be eligible to participate in fall informal recruitment because it would not have been a year yet.

and i second what xylochick said-i have had way more fun as an alumna than i could have ever imagined, and i have met sisters from all over the country who i count among my friends. i never expected to move out of florida, but i have lived in several states and was so glad that i had sisters(that i didn't even know at the time, from different colleges) to call for advice on doctors, dentists, schools, restaurants, etc.

give your sorority more time and really try to get to know your sisters and make some friends within the chapter. as far as would your chapter tell on you to the other sororities on campus(or at your friends school), i don't know. often all the chapters know which girls pledged where because they see them on bid day and around campus wearing their "xyz" or "ab" stuff. you will need to decide if it is worth the chance to try again and maybe not receive a bid at all next time, or to remain a sister in your sorority.
