If you look at the games, you don't even need to look at the books, you'll see that the power struggle between the Elites and the Brutes almost directly mirror the struggle between the Samurai and the Shogun.
That being said, if you look at the culture of the Elites, you'll find that they are much like the Samurai. And you don't need to watch that stupid Halo: Legends chapter to see that. They are all about honor, fearful of shaming their houses, and mortally dedicated to their cause.
This is why I think that female Sangheili don't participate in military campaigns. I think it is strictly male territory. Now like others have said in their replies, if you have a good explanation as to why she became a Zealot, then by all means. I look forward to reading said fanfic, sounds interesting.
Elites are indeed like the Samurai, they also kinda remind me of the Greek Spartans. Hmm, well it seems there have not been any clear-cut "this is how it is" about the females, it seems to be all about opinion, for now.
So I guess I won't run into any issues until something with canon relevance actually says "Sangheili females are not in the military". If that ever happens then I'll have to come up with a pretty damn good reason for making my character in the military, it would mess things up too much to just make it a guy instead.
I don't really have any explanation, other than she's good enough and gotten enough kills to get to that spot. Is there any place on Bungie to upload fanfics? If there was I was not aware of it, but you can find it on http://www.deviantart.com only the first chapter is up so far, it's called Halo: Dust and Echoes.
