For me, college was the first time that I was thrown in with a large number of kids from all different social classes, including the truly wealthy. I never had any of the rich kids snub me outright. Other than that, they tended to fall about equally into two groups. The first group were the kids that would be polite, reasonably friendly, and would even hang out with me to an extent, but I knew it wouldn't go much further than that because I couldn't keep up with their lifestyle, and that was important to them. The members of second group included kids that became my friends. Their attitude was that if their money wasn't an issue for me, than my relative lack of money wouldn't be an issue for them. To this day I am still touched and impressed by their modesty and humility.
In this way, I think that college is not a bad way at all of introducing oneself to the realities of the larger world. I think you will find that sorority members come from all different social classes, and of that broad spectrum, some will want to be your friends and some won't. Your friends will be prepared to embrace your background and your family in a loving way, as you will do in return for them, whether they be rich, poor, or somewhere in between.
I hope that you have a wonderful recruitment!
