I don't think that it should be too much of a concern for you. Even in Georgia, unless you are attending a specific religious school (i.e. a catholic university) which I'm guessing you don't, it is really a non-issue.
As DubaiSis said, it is also not good rush conversation. There are certain topics active members are encouraged to stay away from, and religion is almost always one. It's unlikely that it will come up in conversation, and on the off chance it does, just politely word your answer and move on to another topic.
As for required mass, 1) "required" is thrown around a lot in sororities, but as AOII Angel said, not 100% of the chapter attends and 2) it is possible that your friend is in a christian sorority (such as Alpha Delta Chi or Sigma Alpha Omega, the two most common christian sororities in GA I believe) in which case, I can see the required mass, otherwise, I can't see that being enforced in a traditional NPC sorority
And, as other posters have mentioned, there are religious and often christian elements in rituals, but they tend to be small parts, perhaps a bible passage relating. Just listen quietly and move on. My chapter did have a prayer request book we passed around during chapter but you could also put quotes in there, and bible study was an option for those who desired it, but it certainly was not forced upon us.
TLDR: I don't think it will be an issue for you, even in GA. It shouldn't come up during rush, NPC sororities don't generally require you to be a certain faith and don't force their beliefs on you.
