This post has come around to the same arguement and problem that all of us rushers have at a certain point. Unfortunately, there isn't a clear cut answer.

There are ways to project your social behavior, by talking about social mixers you have, talk about how it's great always having girls around so for whatever mood you're in (watching movies, going out, etc) there is always someone to hang with..

Restrictions like this are designed to keep recruitment honest. They don't want girls joining a sorority because they're the "partiers" they want them joining because of the great sisterhood.

I never looked down on a PNM that slyly asked about going out and whether we drank. However, since they also know the rules of what not to talk about, a girl that obviously has no disregard for them either would not work well with a group and their responsiblities (dont lie, all of your organizations have had one ) or a girl that is obviously mistaken about what rush is about. The first is a lost cause, the second girl is just misguided.

PNMS: use your discretion, if you want to make sure that they're aware that you're social, mention that you enjoy going out with your friends on weekends(they'll pick up on what you mean) Dont mention that you and your friend have done 17 beer bong sin one night.
If you're concerned that they won't like you if you're not social that is usually an acceptable concern to voice. Just stress that you're not against drinking, it's just not yoru personal thing. We had a girl last year that didn't drink but she went out with us every weekend and had a blast (plus: sober driver).

DISCLAIMER: I went to a small, uncompetitive rush, so keep in mind where my advice is coming from.

one last notice to PNMs: Don't set your heart on one sorority before recruitment even starts. We had a horrible recruitmetn last year(my school). we lost almost half of the girls because somehow only one sorority was viewed as the "one" to be in. So girls that got cut from them all dropped out or suicided and there were a lot of broken hearts going around.
Also, dont tell someone from another sorority (before recruitment starts especially) that they're the only sorority you're interested in joining. They WILL tell other girls and honestly, you dont know what may happen. Say they warn the other sororities, the rest of that sorority meets you and perhaps you're not a good fit and they cut you, as well as the other ones you never gave a chance. You end up really sad and with a reputation for the next time you rush
