Welcome to the forum.

Will you be discriminated against? I doubt it, but it's possible. Most chapters want good looking guys with good social skills who will be assets to their chapter. While it is illegal to discriminate against the handicapped, membership decisions are private and these organizations can discriminate for other reasons. You are not entitled to an explanation as to why you are not chosen. The organization doesn't even really have to have a reason internally.

I don't know any social fraternities which cater to the pre-law sorts. Most of us accept men studying a wide variety of fields. You might find a professional organization with greek letters, but please do not confuse those with social fraternities. They aren't the same thing.

As for the pre-law thing, I'd personally urge you to find a different major. You might try something like business or a science related field. I'm in law school right now. I really wish I had either more of a science or business background as either would have served me very well in my future law practice. Law school teaches you enough to be a lawyer. I think the pre-law thing is just unnecessary.
