You are absolutely right that some of what you're saying does sound shallow....BUT I think it is also somewhat normal. IMHO it is ok to be disappointed that you didn't get your first (or second) choice. That said you need to look at the positives so you can move forward:

1. You yourself said you got into a great sorority on campus. What about them is great? Focus on those positives. Go to all the NM events you can even if you don't want to. Participate with your new sisters even if you don't want to. If you don't participate and if you sit back waiting for it to get better you're just creating a self-prophesy that you're not happy and it's not going to get better.

2. Social media creeping (and I know that's what young ladies do) is not going to help you right now. You may need to go cold turkey on that for a little while.

Here comes the tough love part: you are NOT a part of those houses that dropped you. That ship has sailed for this year at least. They are NOT an option. Thinking of what could've been is not going to help you at all. This is the part where you need to wipe your tears, put on you big girl pants, and move forward.

I'm not going to say it is going to be perfect in X amount of time. It may never be what you want it to be. I can tell you though if you don't at least make a good hearted effort you won't know what you may be missing out with your new house.
