OP: did they
say they were very particular about the girls they vote in/are they known as a competitive chapter that doesn't often allow affiliates, OR did you just get that impression?
It's possible this was a failed attempt to impress you—sending their creme de la creme out to meet the new girl.
If it's the first, who knows what could happen. If the chapter is very different from your home chapter, you may not fit in. It happens.
Ditto to 33girl and LeslieAnne on the new member periods. I came away from mine with very little (except the ability to pomp). My pledge class didn't really gel until later that year.
Edit:
this is pomping. Wrap a 1"x2" piece of tissue paper around a marker, stick to board. Put 20 or so boards together to
make giant picture. There's a skit that goes with it—usually geared to kids.
