If people actually ask you why you rushed as a soph, I would just be open and polite about it. Say something like "I decided it was best for me to get a strong academic year under my belt so I can make an outstanding commitment to the sorority."
Then move on. I wouldn't want to hang on it because you want them to get to know you.
I found when I rushed as a junior (at a non-competitive school but still) that I connected more with groups when i just answered the question and moved on.
and as far as being multi-racial, don't worry about it. Just be confident and your future sisters will connect with that.
Besides, the next President (POTUS) is also biracial and that never stopped him.
GOOD LUCK

Reason: Clearing up the POTUS/ Pi Phi president gender bending confusion.
