I'm old, not from the south and white, so that makes me the perfect person to jump in on this. HA! These schools are very competitive just to get in, as well as the Greek system. I think there might still be some bias out there, but I would go in being and behaving as you are and will continue to be. Nobody can tell you there is or is not racial profiling because member selection is confidential AND changes over time.
My guess is, presuming your grades are fine, your credentials are good (extra-curriculars, volunteer history, etc.) and your recs are up to snuff, you'll be able to find a home. These systems are very competitive, so I wouldn't go blaming race issues if you do get cut heavily (we've heard that before from girls who refused to accept their snotty attitude, bad grades or lack of recs had anything to do with it).
I'm presuming you're a senior in high school, so this is your last chance to make sure your grades are stellar and you've got some good extra-curricular and leadership elements on your resume. Focus on those, and not what the membership criterion is. You can't do anything about it anyway, and it shouldn't impact your college decision.
Good luck!
