Are foreign students recruited into fraternities as well?

[tau_carlos]

I'm Ugandan but studied in the UK all my life, so could be considered British. I love sports and i play ruby and tennis both under 18 A teams at my high school. I'm also really social and always interacting with others no matter who they are and parties are a plus for me. I'm not entirely sure what a GPA is but my predicted grades for A- Level Cambridge are AABB cause I take four A-Levels.

I'm 17 now and I'm looking to apply to US universities, particularly University of Texas Austin. I found out about the Greek system from the websites of some universities and I found it to be a really attractive activity for me, but I'm unsure whether I would be accepted into a fraternity for the following reasons:

-I'm totally new to it
-My mates here said that a lot of the fraternities in the US are very judgmental about family backgrounds, which may affect me cause my parents are wealthy politicians in my home country(Uganda) and receive a lot of media attention there.
-And I'm unsure whether international students are apart of the Greek system

I'd really like the opinion of anyone who knows more about the Greek system than myself(which is basically everyone) ('',) thanks in advance
