You just have to accept that sororities are typically populated by people who value tradition and come from money. They're going to be a bit more to the right than your campus' general orientation, with a handful of exceptions. |
THAT is different from school to school, too. On my campus VERY few sorority girls "come from money", and even in the most conservative chapter on campus, there are many "liberals". (In fact at a sisterhood for all chapters when a speaker asked who worked, I was one of three in the section I was sitting in that doesn't have a job.)
No chapter is homogenous. And something college life in general will teach you, and especially that greek life will teach you, is that labeling people instead of knowing people will cause you more problems than its worth. Get to know why they think what they do.
