None of the sororities discriminate on the basis of religion, so don't worry about that. As far as I know, Pi Phi does not host weekly Bible studies -- it didn't when I was there, and we have no "chaplain" officer -- but they are not mandatory in the chapters that do. You need not mention your religion, as it shouldn't matter. On the other hand, if you want to mention it, feel free to do so. Diversity is a good thing! The chapters that offer Bible studies will tell the rushees about the Bible studies as a selling point, simply because this area is predominantly Christian -- though we have a good-sized Jewish community as well, with at least one awesome female rabbi. You have to decide if belonging to a chapter that offers Bible studies would make you uncomfortable, even though you wouldn't be required to attend.
I'd venture to say that most if not all of the national orgs that were founded before the turn of the century were founded in Christian principles. I know Pi Phi was. But most of the sororities' founders were Christian, and some of their colleges were affiliated with churches, so it was only natural. However, times have changed, and sororities' membership reflects that.
