With any school, the general approach of getting to know what the sororities on campus are like, checking out websites, and getting recommendations, certainly could not hurt.
Every campus is different in terms of diversity, and so is every greek system. I know plenty of Asian girls who pledged NPC groups--in a diverse geographic range of schools. All of them went on to stellar careers, whether med school, law school, or big time jobs on Wall Street. Like with any other organization, your membership responsibilities and extent of involvement must be balanced with your academic goals. You know what you can handle.
My own parents were very concerned when I first joined a house, as they had no understanding of Greek life and were convinced it would bring down my grades. The expectation of doing well in school was such that I could not bring home less than an A average, even at an extremely competitive college where a lot of kids came from East coast prep schools. It took them a while for my parents to come around, but they did, and now, when they see that my sisters are still a part of my life today, they know it was one of the best things I ever did.
