This sounds like a major case of the-grass-is-greener-what-if-eritis. Those "friends" are doing you no favors. Evaluate how you feel about the fraternity you pledged without thinking about the possibility of pledging a different fraternity. As others have said, that may not happen, regardless what a few pledges tell you. Decide whether you're willing to depledge assuming that the result could be you won't be Greek.

And I know it's easy for non-SEC, alumnus me to say, but stop worrying about top tier and middle tier. If I had to guess, I'd guess that's part of what's keeping you from connecting in your fraternity—the idea that it's not top tier enough. Just remember: They wanted you. Top tier fraternity didn't. Being where you're wanted and where you feel at home is much more important in the long run than being top-tier.
