If you drop out of rush anywhere before signing your preference card (MRABA) you are eligible for both. But I wouldn't use that as an alternative to sticking it out during rush.
Is this your scenario? You are going through rush and you get cut by all but the 2 crappy houses on campus. You really want to be in a sorority, but not THOSE 2. If this is you, the houses that cut you will likely make quota and are probably already at total and will not be adding any members after rush. That is not to say it can't or won't happen. It can and could. But I would not plan on that unless you're also prepared for a whole lot of heartache and disappointment. Stick it out.
If you got cut from all the chapters, by all means, look into those alternatives. You may get lucky and find a match somewhere later on. And I'm sorry that rush didn't work out for you the way we all hope it will.
