It sounds like you have never been through sorority rush or even get the purpose of sororities. Sororities are social organizations that thrive because people with the same vibe come together for mutual support and fun. They are not political or activist organizations looking for members with similar viewpoints, they are not thinktanks, they are not honor societies. There are plenty of other organizations for those things. They are also not the shallow places that some want to think; status symbols, social media platforms, modeling agencies, dating services for frats, or reality shows for other's entertainment. Sororities fill a unique and vital niche for young college women: friendship, sisterhood, a home away from home, and a peer group to elevate each other in whatever interests or goals a member has. Women need their own spaces for these. The point of rush conversations is to get a feel for each other's personality. It's not the questions or topics that matter, it's HOW the personalities show through. You've got to show your personality, social skills, and good manners, on both sides of the coversation. And there is limited time in a round to do this but it works. This is all about personality fit. The deep stuff can wait, but if it comes up naturally and organically in a rush conversation and both parties are into it and going with the flow, then great, and that's a fit, but it's not the point and not really necessary. And does it really need to be pointed out that these are young women just out of high school being rushed by other young women who are not much more experienced than they are? Brand new experience either way with everyone still finding her way in this situation. It's an easy opening to remark on someone's outfit or whatever, but how it goes after that is the real tell. And the main topics are actually about college life and sorority life, how it works, what to expect, how to manage it all, because that's paramount in everyone's mind. There are nerves and stress on both sides because there is a lot on the line for all involved. Which also make these conversational situations an excellent life experience. There is a necessary and important dynamic going on even if the subject matter is not heavy.
