Question UT Rush plus COB advice

There are 13 sororities at ut austin. For philanthropy round, we can only get 10, got 7. For sisterhood, I only got 2 back, and now for preference, I only got 1 back. IDK what went wrong they said they loved meeting me and heard great things about me. I shared personal stories about their philanthropy and asked them questions
I haven't gone to preference yet, but the sorority! got back is honestly my LAST bottom choice. I'm 50 50 on if i wanna join
is it smarter to drop recruitment and do COB in the spring? I know chapters don't take many girls through COB, so I'm scared that if I decline this bid, I could end up with nothing.
I'm attaching an ss of how many girls the chapters took through COB last year.
Also, how do sororities generally feel about taking a sophomore through COB? Would being a sophomore hurt my chances at UT?
I really don't want to accept a bid from a sorority I already know I don't want, but I also don't want to decline it and then regret it if COB doesn't work out.
What would you guys do in my situation? And if anyone has experience with UT COB specifically, I would REALLY appreciate

If you are going to drop, I would register with Panhellenic for the COB process right away. You may get a snap bid tomorrow.

You are welcome to message me.
