She may be asking about the NPHC, in which case, we nationally do not discriminate on the basis of religion and denomination.
What individual chapters choose to do off the record is what they choose to do. However, you will most likely not have a problem based on religion unless you go into it looking for a problem and picking a fight. People are often their own worst enemy.
As for the Sabbath (upholding the Sabbath means different things for different religions, denominations, and people), you will have to express what it means to you early on with hopes that the chapter can work around it. They may or may not be able to do so during the intake process and if you become an active collegiate. Many people respect you more when you uphold your religious beliefs regardless of anything else. That doesn't mean they'll be able to accomodate your beliefs most of the time. Afterall, the organization/chapter/world does not revolve around you.
Again, that all remains to be seen but go into with an open mind just as you expect the chapter to do.
