People ask about your major because it is a safe topic to talk about, and one that applies to every PNM. It also leads to some easy follow-up questions (why did you choose that? what classes are you taking this semester?, etc.) Nobody is asking because they want to judge your major or because it's some kind of Palinesque "gotcha" question.
So anyway, the point is to keep the conversation going. If you don't have a major, you just want to be sure you don't shut down your rusher by saying "I don't have one" and giving her nothing to go on. You could say "I don't have one, but I'm considering geology" or "I don't have one, but I'm excited to be taking some art history classes this term", etc.
