any repercussions from prematurely accepting a bid

by:    

So during rush this summer I accepted a bid from a smaller fraternity and the more I thought about it the more I thought I’d rather try for a bigger fraternity. I don’t wanna drop from the small fraternity until I get a bid to a bigger fraternity I consider better but if I do end up getting the bid I want is there anything stopping me from telling the smaller fraternity I’m joining a different frat and dropping.

no, just rush at other places and attempt to get a bid and if you do just drop the other fraternity. Not rocket science

A bit of advice that you might not think of: before you make a decision on
accepting a bid, pay close attention to who the other guys are getting/accepting their bids at that house. This is going to be your pledge class; the guys that you will be closest with and who will make or break your fraternity experience. You are being rushed by the older guys and you may like them, and they set the tone for that house for sure, but they will not be going through pledging with you and will graduate before you, so consider your potential pledge class as well.

Be careful I heard a story about how some guys last year accepted their bids to one fraternity and then went to other rush events at other places. The rush chairs told each other and called the IFC and the guys were blacklisted by all fraternities.
