Yes, there's lots of time to talk as you stand outside each house, moving between them and once you're back in the dorms. And there will be several girls who know FOR sure that ABC house is literally prostitutes and DEF will literally make you drink an entire bottle of vodka in order to initiate. And they know this for sure because her sister's roommate was one. It can get VERY difficult to turn this kind of chatter off, because she MUST know what she's talking about, right? When someone has something like to this to say, try to apply a BS test to this. Could what they're saying seriously be true without having school, sorority headquarters or the law getting involved? Harder is when you like a chapter (or at least find them not so bad) and 20 girls are all standing there badmouthing it. You don't know their reasons for what they're saying (insecurity, wanting to sound like she knows everything, her sister used to be one and got kicked out) but it's pretty easy to feel like you are not cool if you don't agree.

Although you will have a better connection with some chapters than with others, do try to keep in mind that the similarities far outweigh the differences and anything too far-fetched is almost assuredly untrue.
