It's hard to get your second choice. However, you've got it now and there's nothing you can do to change that. You can either keep being upset and decide to drop out, or you can get over it and give the sorority that wanted you as a member a chance. Yes, it may be difficult for you to get over the heartbreak of not being picked by your first choice (rejection and narcissistic injury are a big deal at age 17/18), but if you decide to quit, you are stil bound to that sorority for a calendar year and cannot join any other group. Why not give your pledge period a chance and see if you could be happy there after all?* If you aren't having fun after a few weeks, you can depledge before initiation. It's either that or you won't be greek for at least another year, and you may or may not be able to get a bid from another chapter next year. At many schools, the odds of a successful recruitment decrease significantly each consecutive year.
*But if you're going to go to the chapter and be pouty and miserable that you didn't get the other chapter you wanted, don't bother. Don't bring down all the sisters and the other new members who are excited to be a part of your new chapter.
