Last year, two of the girls I lived with in my apartment rushed. I don't think they made it obvious during rush that they lived with me unless they were at my chapter, and even then, it shouldn't be a big deal. Unless you don't shut up about your roomie's chapters, chances are people will give you a fair chance...sorority women understand that you can live with girls in other chapters. While I've seen girls cut from chapters because they have a sister/family member in a chapter, its less likely that they'll treat roommates the same way.

Another thing I'd like to point out is that it is in your best interest to be the best roommate you can be. If you act like a seriously terrible roommate, it can work against you, because chances are your roommates ARE wondering if you would be a good sister or not. I let my chapter know I had two roommates rushing, and my sisters did ask me what I thought of them.

Lastly, don't hold it against your roommates if you do really like their chapter and end up getting cut. Chances are that if you have a good relationship your roommate and you get cut from her house, it probably doesn't reflect on how much she likes you. Perhaps you two get along great but you may not be the best fit for her sorority. Or maybe she did want you in the house, but the decision wasn't solely up to her. I've seen girls I liked during rush get cut from my chapter, and you need to keep in mind that it may not be only up to your roomate.

ETA: One of my roommates joined my chapter, the other is very happy in another chapter on campus. It all worked out for them, and good luck to you!
