Ah -- The decisions of youth. Except for the advice to terminate or to immediately decline your bid, all of the advice given above is good - especially the advice relating to how you wound up with your second choice. Second choice is better than no choice.

Practically speaking, if you want to be in a sorority, given the advice above, realistically this is likely your final opportunity. Don't be the malcontent. Do not appeal. And don't make a stink about not getting your first choice because chances are you were not the sorority that gave you a bid's first choice either. The person who compared your experience to the employment world is very correct. In real life, nobody gets their first choice all the time. Most rarely ever get their first choice or even a choice at all.

Try to put your disappointment behind you and try to make the best of the opportunity that you have now.

"We cannot direct the wind . . . but we can adjust our sails."

There have been many recruitment stories on this site where it turned out that they loved their second choice sorority and were very happy that they did not receive a bid to their first choice. Who knows, you may be one of them.
