You can expect these incoming freshmen to still be in a high-school mindset! I remember some of the girls I went through orientation with did the EXACT same thing and I had some of the same thoughts as you. But I kid you not, some of the WORST ones ended up dropping out of rush after the 3rd day or so. Orientation is not an accurate picture of what college/sorority life is like. Everything is still very new, and people are still testing the waters. My advice to you is to definitely go through rush anyway. Some of these girls may end up in your rho chi group... some may even end up being your pledge sisters... but I promise you they will mellow out once they've seen what college is all about. Sorority life is not superficial at all. As cliched as it sounds... chances are these girls are acting like this because they are uncertain of themselves and want to fit a stereotype. I saw it last year, I know! Once you actually get there and see how things REALLY are... you will not regret it. Don't miss out on the best part of college because of a few bad apples!
