I want to point out the fact that you qualified your post with this:

to any other potential sorority women who may be reading this thread and freaking out.
There are most definitely some purple-haired nose-ring-wearing sorority women outside the SEC. (Probably a slut or two as well...actually those are everywhere, some just cover it up better.)
This is a huge generalization, but basically the more preparation you have to put into rush, the more rigid the rules/time constraints/$$ obligations are going to be. Yes, EVERY chapter has rules. However, it's a given that a chapter with 200+ women (like those in the SEC) is going to have more rules than a chapter of 40 women - just because there is no way that everyone's going to know everyone intimately and understand/ask/counsel on their motivations for doing things.
This all being said I'm going to throw in a few more that apply to ANY chapter.
-If the
only reason you're joining a sorority is to "network" don't bother. Join professional organizations instead.
-If you have a boyfriend/fiance and are going to refuse to participate in any activity that involves socializing with men, don't bother.
