The odds ARE kind of stacked against you. I can say, though, that I dropped freshman year b/c I didn't get asked back to the houses I wanted. I rushed again as a sophomore and ended up preffing at a "top tier" and then a "mid tier" (where I was a legacy). Both had dropped me freshman year. I ended up ranking my legacy house as #1 and, obvi, got it. (They have to put you #1 on bid list if you come through pref as a legacy, typically it's a rule for most nationals). I definitely did it in part bc it felt "safer" to get a guaranteed bid. I sat there on bid day like OMG did I make a HORRIBLE mistake?! I felt so out of place and overwhelmed. It didn't help that my roommate ended up with the "top hose" I put as #2 and she was in love from the start. But I gave it time, and can't imagine being anywhere else. I can see now that my choice DID happen for a reason. My advice---GET OFF GREEK RANK. STOP OBSESSING ABOUT TIERS. Focus on your new house and getting to know other new members and also the sisters. You are NOT going to be BFF with all 200+ girls. TBH, you might not even like some of them. But you WILL find your spot. The grass is NOT always greener elsewhere.....just give. it. time.
