Is there a reason that you couldn't do both? I know plenty of people who were Greek members and also participated in Cru, Young Life, and other religious organizations.
In reading your post it sounds like your approach to both groups has been an "all or nothing" mentality. I would encourage you to give much, but not all, to each of them for the rest of the semester. This is, in fact, a great life skill. The older you get, the more balance and juggling you will be required to do. Relationships, work, academic pursuits, hobbies and faith all have a place in the lives of many individuals and we manage to make each aspect work.
Finally, when you say that your new friends make you feel more accepted, could that be that your friends in Sigma aren't sure why you've pulled away? Might they think that you have pulled away from their friendship instead of Sigma as an entity? In other words, they may be feeling just as hurt and perplexed as you are feeling right now.
You need to give *something* to your sorority. Yes, early on the older members are loving all over the new members to help them feel welcome. Guess what? Those new members (i.e. YOU) get older and become the members that have to start doing the work. The shine of new membership wears away but the shine of sorority membership doesn't. You just have to do some work to see it.
Good luck.
