I know that students all-girls schools have been stereotyped as catty, cliquey, and dramatic. Would it be a bad idea to mention this?

I think that your recognition of the bond that women can share, based on your high school experience, is a great reason to rush. I think that if you're asked why you're rushing, in addition to your cousin, mentioning that you're looking for the same kind of bond you had with your close friends in high school, your desire for a female support network, etc. will signal to the members that you're looking for more than just a line on a social resume.
Ignore the stereotypes. Let your personality shine through.
