Although I'm not that familiar with the restrictions resulting from your religion, I have quite a few Indian friends from work so I completely understand the cultural implications involved. I would strongly advise against trying to do something behind your parents' backs. It will almost certainly blow up in your face, and your parents will never trust you again.
Instead, look for a sorority that meets your sisterhood needs but will also make your parents more comfortable with the whole idea. I'm sure the NPC and NPHC chapters on your campus are admirable, but your parents may be more comfortable with a cultural (Indian or multi-cultural), Christian, or service sorority instead. Research your options, even the option of bringing a new one on campus if none of the current ones feel just right. Fortunately, on most campuses the process of bringing one of these chapters on campus is a bit quicker and easier than bringing a new NPC chapter on.
Find one that you think your parents might be comfortable with, and then approach them with a specific proposal ("I am interested in joining the XYZ sorority and here is why I think it would be good for me") rather than the general "I want to join a sorority" statement. Best of luck!
