It sounds like you have a lot in common with the woman that you would have chosen for your little. There is absolutely no reason why you can't continue to bond and support her in every way that you would if you were able to be her big.
While certainly supportive and friendly with my little during college, after decades out, I am not particularly close with her any longer. We live hundreds of miles away and only really converse on social media. Whereas, I have a group of about a dozen sisters that were all in different pledge classes, graduation years, families, etc that I see almost weekly.
The big/little relationship is important to helping new members acclimate into a new chapter but it doesn't have to restrict your relationship with your new friend.
Best of luck studying abroad. I hope that you get a great little sometime down the road. But, don't let this set back stop you from forging a bond with this new member that you have recently enjoyed meeting.
