The social calendar has to be voted on - whether it's week to week or far in advance, the chair can't just say "we have a mandatory mixer with ABC" and no one else knows about it or has had any say in it.
This is the equivalent of girls in sororities telling disappointed rushees "OMG, we all LOVED you, I don't know how you didn't get a bid, the computer must have screwed it up!" No, the computer is working fine. They just didn't give the girl a bid.
Forget the sororities and try mixing with the dance team and such. If the above attitude from NPC women really is the norm at your school, you'll have much more fun.

The bolded was, concidentally enough, daughter's response virtually word for word.
Now granted, gr33kfan, the girls you spoke to may indeed have the one social chair, who, for whatever reason, has that kind of power and hold over the rest of her sorority. Daughter only dreamed of that much absolute power (God help her sorority if she had ever actually gotten it
).
In her house, the one difference to what 33girl stated was that they did not vote on events unless a change to the calendar had to be made. Otherwise, she and the executive board set the social calendar - but she wouldn't have lasted anytime if she had limited it to fraternities she liked - especially since her taste in fraternities differed significantly from most of her sisters.
She made it a point to do things with as many different fraternities as possible knowing that her taste wasn't everyone's taste and figuring girls should have the opportunity to meet a variety of different people.
So, in short, the girls are, in all likelihood, not giving you the whole story and using their social chair as the fall guy/girl.
