As weird as this sounds, I don't know if the date rape thing is what is traumatizing to her the most. In her article I believe she said she felt that way with any large group of women BEFORE she joined the sorority and that most of her friends up to that point were guys.

Some people might feel socially awkward around some or all people and this weirdness might have to do with self-esteem or something so the fact that all of this happened (her sisters giving her the boot) was the icing on the cake for her.
