After Initiation Chapter Shut Down... Now What?

I joined a sorority at one school out of state. When I was pledging, my sorority was under social probation (which no one was told about) and maybe two days after my pledge class was initiated my sorority went under investigation for a supposed hazing incident over the initiation weekend. No actual hazing occurred but because blind folds were involved that is considered hazing 101!! (Others please note this: blindfolds even if the girls put them on themselves is considered an act of hazing don't be put in an unfortunate situation like my sorority was)

I no longer go to that school, I moved back to my home state and am transferring to another school. I have looked in joining another chapter in my home state unfortunately there are only 4 chapters in my state and they are at schools I am not interested in going to or crazy out of reach (One of the top three schools in the country).

Here's my problem:
I was not an active member for more than 48 hours before my sorority was shut down, the only Greek activity/event I have ever attended was my own Bid Night, Initiation, and Founders day (which was the same weekend as the initiation). I paid for an entire semester's worth of membership and a pin and did not receive either. I can get a full refund and my membership and alumni status will be removed but although I will no longer be a member of that sorority does this still prevent me from joining another sorority?
Is there a by-law for special circumstance?

For all of those out there that are going to be negative and say I'm turning my back on my sorority, please be understanding to the fact I never got a real sorority experience. Any sorority experience I did receive I owe to my Big Sis and I love her dearly for trying her best to make sure my sorority experience was the best considering the cards we were delt.
