1. Formal pledging ceremonies have NOTHING to do with bid cards (or bid computer sheets or whatever you submit after pref) being binding or with you being truly bound to a sorority. Some sororities have a formal ceremony on bid night, some halfway through pledging, some may not have one at all. It's private and confidential and part of a sorority's ritual. Therefore, there's no way Panhel could include it in the rush rules.
2. ZBZ didn't give you a bid. Worse yet, you had girls there leading you on. They probably said "I can really see you here" to 90% of the girls they met during rush. Sororities just aren't supposed to say things like that to the rushees!! These chicks sound shady, and you should count your blessings that you WEREN'T bid there. Quit thinking they wanted you, because if they did, they would have bid you. They wanted you to want them, which is an entirely different situation.
3. You have been around Tri Pi for a WEEK. You have more sisters than just your pledge class. Give it time. You aren't going to be any further ahead if you quit - you're going to be "that girl who was dumb enough to quit Tri Pi because she thought ZBZ wanted her. What a deludanoid!!"
