If you are not the type of girl that she is describing then there should be no hard feellings. Also, because of my lack of girl friends, is what first interested me to join a sorority. A sorority that represents REAL sisterhood, a sorority that are not girls but, WOMEN in every sense of the word.

This might be totally off topic but stick with me and you might find something that applies to your situation.
Every woman's first friend was their mother in a sense. We learned how to be women from our mothers and our grandmothers, aunts, etc. So if this young lady and any others find women to be shady, it has to do with the company she keeps.
Not every female that I had as a friend was REALLY my friend. There is schiestiness everywhere, however, as you grow older and if God has given you a spirit of discernment, you are able to see the women who are FRIEND material and those who are not you need to love from a distance.
I agree with Beejae that a woman who hates other females is uncomfortable with herself (not necessarily hate). When you hate someone who is like you in some way, that means you are uncomfortable with that very same thing that is either in you or missing from you.
Joining a sorority should not be the MEANS of beginning to seek SISTERHOOD or be the way which you show SISTERHOOD. I showed SISTERHOOD before I became a DELTA. I continue to show it but not just within the SORORITY. I was called Sister CT4 in the church and I watched the women of the church -- another more informal sorority, if you will -- interact with one another. Stretching the whole "sorority theme", every woman who has women friends has a sorority so to speak minus the service and dues and other issues related to the formal organizations that DST, AKA, Z PhiB, and SGRho model, so every woman has some form of sisterhood training.
What did I say?
I really don't know.
I simply wanted you and anyone to know that SISTERHOOD starts from within and it SHOULD begin LONG before you get to college looking to join DELTA, AKA, Zeta or S G Rho.
When I look at you, I see myself, If my eyes are unable to see you as my sister, it is because my own vision is blurred. And if that be so, then it is I who need you either because I do not understand who you are, my sister or because I need you to help me understand who I am.
