Thanks to everyone for responding! A few people seemed to say exactly what I was thinking. My hunch was that my major would be more of an obstacle to rush than visa versa. Tulane is in a very unique situation though. The women's liberal arts undergraduate division is Newcomb College (the oldest women's college in the south). Although the faculty merged with men's faculty (from Tulane College) in the 1980's, Newcomb maintains a seperate administrative and, in some cases, social identity from the rest of the school. As a result, Newcomb Student Programs has designed a new women's studies program. Freshman have to live together in one wing of the all-girls dorm, and work towards a minor in women's studies. In addition, we run a student leadership organization for Newcomb. This will be the program's second year, so I'm not really sure how many people are involved in this program and a sorority.
This may be one of those things where I have to just wait and see how things pan out in September. Who knows? I may get to break down a few stereotypes myself
. Thanks again to everyone for their wonderful advice!
