Exclamation Help!

I've done a long search and I just can't find the answers I'm looking for. To try and make a long story short, I went through formal rush (which is deferred here) last year. I was cut from all 10 houses the 2nd day. Needless to say I was devistated. I looked into a local sorority, but the more I find out, the more it seems like this group is going to fall apart (it was just founded a year ago and all the girls who have joined have little interest in it being a 'true' sorority--like no one goes to events, there is no communication among anyone, everything just isn't working).

I am one of those girls who wants to be like, a 'true sorority girl.' Overly involved, rah rah sisterhood, etc.. But I did join the local one that isn't going well at all. So my questions:
1. Would it be possible to join a national one on campus? I mean, I know you *technically* can, but I think a lot of girls might look at it like I'm sleezy for dropping out of one and not having the committment (even though it's the rest of the group without the committment).
2. Since I was dropped from all 10 houses during formal, should I just take the hint and not bother with COB?

Thanks for your ideas/suggestions. I'm so torn up because I originally saw so much promise with the local one, but I have volunteered for anything and no one will take me up on the offer, and I even donated extra money to try and help girls who couldn't pay because I really wanted to get this group going strong. It's not a great situation, so any advice is helpful!

I also wanted to note: Greek life isn't huge on this campus (there's a good percentage, but it's not the only thing--if that makes sense). It's not one of the seriously competitive schools although I don't know if that will make any difference.
