We didn't have Gamma Sig but we did have Alpha Phi Omega (which I was a member of). If I remember correctly we didn't have our informational sessions until after formal rush was over. You may want to bring that up with student affairs. Technically, you can pledge a service org and an NPC/NIC group at the same time, although it would be very time consuming, but I know of people who've done it.

If they are DOWNPLAYING service - the reason for their existence - that's a serious issue. No one is saying just do service and don't have any fun, but the main aspect is still service first and foremost.

Plus, don't take this the wrong way, but if GSS is able to talk girls out of NPC rush so easily - maybe there are problems that Panhellenic needs to work out among the sororities or with rush.
