I think a LOT of girls have this huge let down on bid day, and not just when they don't get their first choice. It's kind of like building up to Christmas, then you open your gifts, and it's just not that exciting any more. Life is never quite as hearts and flowersy as your fantasies. In real life you have to WORK for your friendships, and it's not always exciting and exuberant. And this insty-friends thing is just weird. It always has been, but it's the system we work with. Frankly, I think a LOT of women have a "is this all there is?" moment a few hours after going to the house for the first time, but not everyone is willing to admit it.
Stick it out. You'll make friends, you'll settle into a routine, and you'll be fine. Now that recruitment is over, a lot of this stuff will just fade into the horizon. Trust me, sorority life is great no matter which girl scout cookie you're eating. Good luck!
