I think you're experiencing something that is pretty common- houses that are really good at recruiting and making you feel like the center of the world cannot maintain that 110% focus on PNM's after recruitment is over. It sounds like your chapter could improve on this, but really to some degree, new members feel the same in many chapters.

My advice -> put all your effort into bonding with your new member class. Those are the girls who will become your best friends, your future roomates, and the future exec board in your house. Spend your time and effort nurturing those new friendships vs being upset that upperclassmen ignore you. If you're going to the house for dinner, see if a few pledge sisters want to go with you. If you have pledge sisters in your classes, sit with them in class and go study at the house together. Go to football games together. Make plans to go to your sorority events and meetings together. Try to mix with as many different pledge sisters as possible so you have lots of good acquaintances and start to build great friendships. It's common to feel a little lost after you pledge. The burden goes back on you to make friends, not the upperclassmen.
