Is it true that you can tell when someone sings in a choir?

Question:

Is it true that you can tell when someone sings in a choir?

I've recently started singing in the school choir after taking voice lessons for years.

I've found myself above everyone musically, because of my extensive music background, however I've been told that I shouldn't get in the habit of under singing and that's what choral singer do. Is this true? And that you can tell when someones a soloist singer and a choir singer...

If so do you think I should stop singing in the choir to stay a solo singer because that's what I want to do with me life? Or should I keep going in the choir because its good?

Also whats the difference, I've been in many musical theatre shows, what the difference when you're singing in a chorus? Is there one? I was told you sink to the level of what kind of singer your singing with? Is this true?
