Went through a somewhat similar period: I joined as a sophomore with two of my best friends from freshman year. After pledging, one transferred schools to be with her fiance, the other refused to move to the floor, and went to an off-campus apt. And my Big graduated.
So I moved onto the floor Junior year with essentially no close friends in the sorority. (Totally my own fault for sticking with my 2 girlfriends and not bothering to reach out to anyone). It was a decently sorority, but we had our problems (a few headcases, but who doesn't).
So I had to go through the process as a Junior that everyone else had already passed through during pledging - really getting to know the other girls in the sorority. It was a tough year, but worth it. I found great dinner partners in an "aloof" Admiral's daughter and a shy girl from "the sticks", both of whom I had totally discounted as potential friends.
Getting a really wonderful little sister was a big help, as was just diving in, making the best of a "bad" situation.
I wouldn't trade my senior year or my sorority experience for anything.
