It wasn't an easy thing to do emotionally and I would not recommend trying it unless you have an abundance of self confidence and better than average social skills. (Though I am not saying that, at the time, I had either.)
Have you made one friend in your new sorority? If you have, I'd say treasure that one friendship and hang in there. Many people get depressed at college and chances are you are not be the only one in your "pledge" class that is having a problem. Most universities have mental health professionals on staff to help students with mental problems. Before you do anything, go see one of them.
Finally, if you quit your current sorority, you will not likely ever get an invitation to your first choice. There are things in life where you only get second choice, if you are lucky. Many people get 5th or 6th choice, if any.

This is good advice.
In addition, I am wondering about the sorority climate at your university. One chapter "dirty rushed" you and the one you joined is hazing. I think there are some issues going on that need to be addressed.
