This is just another anecdotal datapoint, but I've found substantially less arrogance in my CS program than in some of the other bigger majors here (IR, Govt, Econ). I think it helps that some of the best and brightest students spend a vast majority of their time answering questions, debugging code, and filling in others with that obscure unix knowledge.

Nevertheless, we have very very few female majors.

Out of curiosity, what CS program is that? From the major majors you listed, it sounds as thought it might be where I'm headed next year, and I'd love to hear what a current student thinks of it.
It's a well-known mid-atlantic school in the US. If that still fits the profile, feel free to email me(see my profile) and I'd be happy to discuss things more with you.
