Talk to your big or even some of the girls in your new member class. They may be going through the same kind of situation. Unfortunately, it happens.
I was best friends with a girl on my hall who had to drop out of recruitment because she had been diagnosed with an illness and had to go home for the week of recruitment. When she got back, a bunch of us who were friends were all greek -- wearing our stuff, decorating our doors and going to activities 24-7. We tried really hard to include her in open events and tried to do stuff with her. Eventually she pulled away from us, she made new non-greek friends and became pretty nasty towards us and greek life.
The following fall, she joined a colony and actually came up and apologized to me and my old roomate for being such a jerk during our nm period.
Your friends may not fully understand what the greek life experience is and insted of learning about it, they seem to be rejecting the whole idea. See if you can talk to them, if they aren't receptive, then maybe its time to move on.
