A lot depends on how competitive the recruitment at your school is, but I would guess that your status as a junior would hurt you a lot more than your racial or ethnic background. Women of all backgrounds join the NPC. However, it is often harder to receive a bid as an upperclassman.
As far as your preferences, if you are genuinely interested in formal recruitment with NPC, you should not decide beforehand where you are going to join. Realize that your options may be limited, especially as a junior going through recruitment.
If you are dedicated and willing to face possible rejection, try it out. The worst that can happen is that you don't receive a bid. And again, so much depends on the particular school.
