In sum, Colgate admissions choose students very carefully and they pretty much weed out the snobs who don't care about anything except themselves and social status. Kids do dress preppy but it's not a reflection of their behavior. They look for students who are open-minded, very active in the community/sports, and engaging with others.... so... you will find lots of very nice people who would be... surprised at mean talk. Any meaness you've heard on campus are rather very isolated. Generally when isolated situations flare up (like racism), the whole campus get pretty upset and go into dialogue talks for a while to assure that everyone's voices get heard that these are not appropriate behavior in a society.
Don't worry about it at all.
