In complete and utter truth...
You are hearing rumors and stereotypes and if your girlfriend joins a national or large regional sorority, she would be treated with respect and kindness. Stories such as those you have heard have no basis in terms of the national groups. Unfortunately there are some (not ALL) local groups that have no advisors or governance by a university and their traditions can be questionable. (see the national chapters thread on the Rush board)
I would wish your girlfriend well and investigate the possibility of joining a national fraternity or a service fraternity at your new campus as well. The benefits stretch beyond your 4 years of undergrad.
