It might be worth a shot to call the office handling orientation, make a friend, note his/her name, be super polite, and ask if they can possibly help you. You might leave out the rush reason initially and just tell them that the 14th was the only date available and you really, really need an earlier session. Even ask if they keep track of cancellations and if you could possibly fill one of those.
You would need to be flexible with dates and travel, but if you can be, it might be worth a try.
Otherwise you might just take the risk and know that you will miss some skit parties. Not an optimal plan or especially recommended, but perhaps you could slip away during less important parts of the orientation day if necessary - what you really must accomplish during orientation is the advising/registering for classes part. You need your act card too -- but I suppose you could do that later if necessary.
Good luck with it -- have you secured recommendations to the chapters yet?
