My school has deferred recruitment as well. It's totally normal to have favorites going into recruitment! I fell in love with two chapters after the first round, but I didn't pledge either of them! One of them cut me and I changed my mind about the other one, but I wouldn't change a thing about my experience. I definitely ended up in the right chapter for me. Look for the positive in every chapter and keep your options as open as possible until you sign your bid card.

As for your race, it really depends on the campus. At my school, if anything, it'd be a slight plus since our chapters want to be diverse! Actually, my chapter's newest new member class has more racial and/or religious minorities than White Christians. Look at the existing makeup of the chapters, if they're diverse, race is probably no issue. But be yourself at all costs.
