Her inference was completely logical based on you saying you're not very smart. All kinds of sorority women have really tough majors and take on crazy work/extracurricular loads. I'm just wondering if the "I'm not very smart" comment is indicative of self-esteem that will suffer tremendously during rush. Rush is hard, physically and emotionally, and depending on where you go, being a junior can cause you to experience cuts that would hurt the feelings of even the strongest girls.
Can you do it? Who knows? Can you take on your load plus an extra 10-20 hours a week of additional commitments? If you know for sure the answer is no, then I would seriously consider what you're in for.
And as an aside, it would be good to learn that your choice of words counts. The way you described yourself to complete strangers was at minimum unfortunate. "I would consider myself an ordinary student who works very hard to maintain good grades" might be a bit closer to an accurate statement than "I'm not very smart."
