You are having buyer's remorse. It's only been three weeks and trust me there are a lot of girls in every sorority, even the one you think is so perfect for you, having it now. How long did it take to become best friends with your friends back home? Probably longer than three weeks!
Here is some stuff I wrote for another Greek chat person feeling like you are: You shouldn't be depending on other people to help you get to know your sisters. You need to put yourself out there and make friends just like you would in the outside world. If you have a house, hang out there a lot even if it is to study or watch TV. If you don't have a house then figure out where your sisters like to hang out and go there. Approach some sisters you don't know after chapter and see if anyone wants to go out for coffee or froyo or whatever after. Sit next to sisters you don't know yet at every meeting and event and strike up a conversation. Look for your letters in your classes. You probably have sisters in them and don't even realize it. Seeing your letters is an instant conversation starter and then you'll have someone to sit next to in class and study and complain with! She can even introduce you to more sisters.
You need to stop thinking about the what ifs and the other sorority. That will crush your soul. Believe me when I tell you it's not perfect over there. Also understand that even if you had put them first on your bid card you still may have ended up where you are. Even though they may have been your first choice, it is very possible you were not that sorority's first choice. At a lot of schools, going through rush after you depledge your freshman year will not work out any better for you. It will be worse, as in not getting a bid at all worse. Be sure you will be ok with that if you decide to drop.
