So you're saying that you went to three parties with two houses and still weren't interested in either of them despite the fact that they were the only houses you had left? I think you might need a bit of an attitude adjustment, OP. If you declare that one-third of the houses on your campus were houses you didn't care for and wouldn't join, you're only stacking the deck against yourself.
I also don't know what "really struggling" means on your campus, but I hope you give Orange a second look when you go through recruitment, since they liked you enough to extend a bid to you. A house I declined a COB bid from spring semester of my freshman year that struggles during recruitment was one of two houses I preffed during formal recruitment of my sophomore year. At some point I agree that joining a struggling chapter might not be worth the emotional cost of constantly feeling like you're falling short, but it could be your only chance at being Greek and I wouldn't want you to dismiss them out of hand.
I am hopeful that knowing women in sororities will give you a fresh opinion on each chapter this time through.
