If you're only looking to hang around pretty party girls, then perhaps you should adjust your expectations on what a sorority is supposed to be. A sorority is about joining a sisterhood (and keep in mind that family members don't always get along), doing something positive in your community, and molding yourself into a leader and a team player. It's about becoming women of distinction - going to mixers should just be a tiny side thought in your decision to join.
Honestly, if parties are your main goal, you don't need a sorority for that - and if that is your primary concern, then that's likely why you didn't get bid on by your top choices. These girls took a chance on you, so I would strongly encourage you to talk with initiated sisters about your concerns (in a nice way, don't just call them the "slutty sorority") and see if they can help you through it or give you a better perspective on what to expect. Maybe you seem standoffish or stuck up to the other girls, so they're having trouble approaching you and bonding.
Let go of your negative thoughts and really jump into your pledge process. You don't have to wait for bonding events to be arranged. Invite your pledge class somewhere and hang out, grab some of the girls individually and ask them to get some coffee with you or something like that. You're only alone if you want to be. If you still feel that they'll never be a good fit for you after a few more weeks, then reconsider depledging.
