I agree with StealthMode - while the student really should've considered discretion, she is an undergraduate. On a very short-term, local level, I do not blame the student for thinking those things ARE essential, especially if the chapter and Greek culture at her school puts a lot of emphasis on those things.
It never occurred to me that a neophyte presentation was an "essential" part to being Greek, but best believe I've met my share of Greeks who think it's odd at best and suspect at worst my line didn't have one. It's not a huge thing here but elsewhere, it's absolutely a must (socially speaking, anyway).
So again, I can see how this student, even though she talked too much, felt like these things were necessary, especially if it's presented as such.
