Be friendly and take part in the conversation. Most of the chatters are pretty friendly. If I ever see you there I will be sure to say hello.

It's just like any other social environment... you can't just barge in and expect to be accepted by a bunch of people who don't know you. Chime in on something that is relevant to you, don't be creepy and eventually you will build a rapport and can engage with the rest of the chat kids. it also helps to take part in the rest of the site, especially the silliness board.
Or you can just post pictures of your penis everywhere and ask where the SG girls be at. That always works well.

Chat can be a vastly different experience depending on the time of day that you go in, so any advice that you'd want to heed can vary dramatically depending on the time you go in there. I'll describe some of the differences here. I'll start my description of a day in the cycle of chat off at 3pm EST.
Chat is very slow around 3pm EST. Because of this, those who do go in there often are the chat addicts who go in there 24/7. Plus, with chat being slow, it's a lot easier to keep a conversation focused as well as have a more personal conversation. Because of that, they often get to know other folks who frequent the chat room 24/7 fairly well. Because of that, they can appear as if they're a tight knit group of friends who've known each other for some time. As MDF mentioned above, sometimes it's the case, but often it can just appear as so.
It starts to get really busy if you go in around 8pm EST and gets progressively busier throughout the night. If you can't read really fast and you aren't on a caffine / sugar / amphetamine high, it's fairly tough to partake. Around this time, if you're a girl and have your cam on, you'll get lots of people talking to you. Especially lots of pervs. Many of them jacking off to your cam. Although that many folks who frequent SG chat do scoff at "chat fappers", that doesn't stop there from being a significant number of them in there around this time.
Around 2am EST most of the east coast American folks have gone to bed. The majority of those remaining are either quite drunk, coked up, stoned, or asleep at their keyboard drooling on it. Possibly (probably?) all of the above. Also around that time a lot of the west coast American folks are just startin' to get their drink on and are livening up a bit.
Starting at around 4 er 5am EST the Australians will start to show up pretty much to the point where it becomes Aussie hour. That along with a fair portion of the drunk-ass Americans konkin' out combines to change the mood of the chat room significantly. Camslutting is usually no longer the norm and is usually frowned upon. In fact those who do get naked and do camshows are often called out and sort of booed out of chat via lots of name calling. Except for the king of camslutting for Vegas_, of course (there's one of those inside jokes MDF was talkin' about.) A few of the Europeans will wake up and come into chat around this time, but not too many.
By 8am EST Most of the Aussie's start to konk out and chat can very rapidly die. Like within a matter of minutes. With the Europeans having just woken up they're not as lively as they might be before bed. Pretty much the only people left in there by 9am EST are the Americans with insomnia, the Australians who've moved towards the end of their computer usage cycle for the evening and aren't paying much attention to chat, and the groggy Europeans. It can stay like this up until noon EST. When it dies it can die in a big way, sometimes without anything being typed for hours at a time.
Starting at about noon EST it'll start to pick up. Barely. Occasionally one of the more lively east coast Americans can come in around 9 er 10 and carry the activity level up until the noon pickup, but more often than not it'll be really mellow until about noon. Usually, starting at around 11 to noon you'll have the hard core chat addicts start to come in. While they'll likely respond to you if you talk to them, chances are they didn't come in to talk to you so you'll often feel that you're butting in.
That leads me to the actual tip that I was going to say originally. While the vast majority of the social guidelines that apply to social behavior when you're at, say, a bar usually apply, one thing that's different is that most of the time when you see someone having a conversation, just spout out your thoughts on the subject. While it would probably be seen as rude if you were to walk up to a group of people having a conversation in a bar and just barge your way into it, in chat it's usually not seen the same way. Most of the time people are stoked that you're talking to them. That, after all, is what most people go in there for: so you'll talk to them.

Oh, some more tips:
If you have one, turn on a webcam so people can see your facial expressions or see that you're not sacrificing small animals while you talk to them. Not having a cam in chat is analogous to not having a profile picture on the main site.
I noticed that in the opening post of this thread, you asked to get the opinions of the suicidegirls (unless you meant SGers.) That brings up one point: being a suicidegirl means very little to the vast majority of people who frequent chat. I'm gonna toss out a number of 80%. For 10% it means the world. For the other 10% being a suicidegirl is a strike against them. But for the vast majority of folks, what someone says and does has way more clout than being a suicidegirl.
Fuck, I got tons more but I just ran out of time. Hopefully I'll come back and type more.

I often visit chat because I have had requests for live hooping. Is doing that, not good chat etiquette?
Well, as with everything I've said in here, these are all just my observations and other folks might have a different view, but any type of artistic performance will be well received. Especially if you're naked as that's sure to get everyone watching and hootin' and a hollerin'. That won't necessarily get you any more respected (probably less so), but it will get more people noticing. `Cause I mean if no one sees you do something in chat, there really isn't any etiquette at all. You'll do anything you want to and it won't make a bit of difference to anyone.
What's often not as well received is when you're just naked and basically saying "hey look at me! I'm naked! You need to pay attention to me because I have tits!" Although it's extremely common to see in chat, no one likes seeing attention whoring due to insecurities. Even though you're sure to get a dozen er so guys telling you that you're doin' a bang-up job, that's mostly just to get the weak and vulnerable ones to perform for them. People who actually do[/] portray talent in their escapades, or if it's clear that they're doing it just for fun, however, they're typically always well received by everyone.
