Here's my advice. This is your "last" chance, so be open to membership in all of the sororities, see it through to the very end, and accept the bid you are offered. Then make a huge effort to get to know everyone, be happy with the bid you have been given, get involved in the leadership, recruit quality women like yourself, and be an asset to the organization. Expect that whether you get your top choice or your last choice, there will be plenty of times you love it and plenty of times you hate it and wonder if you should have joined another group. Sisterhood isn't instant BFF-dom. A "sister" is a name for a member in a sorority. There will be opportunities to bond. Friendships and a sense of "sisterhood" will develop between you and some of the members, but not all. Some you will get along with better than others. The key is to respect one another and your organization, and to learn how to work together.

If you can't get along with a group of 20+ women, then you have bigger problems than being dropped by a "top choice" (which really, was about 10 women out of goodness knows how many in a chapter, who you clicked with, but who were showing you their best face and telling you what you wanted to hear so you would love them).

If you're not willing to do these things, save yourself the time and effort and pick another activity.

TL; DR: Be yourself during recruitment, accept a bid if offered, and give 100% and bring a positive attitude. That's your advice.
