Race & Sororities

Hi
I'm a bi-racial (black/white) female attending Ole Miss in the fall. I want to rush, but I don't want to limit myself to historically black sororities. Is race a deciding factor in most sororities? Are any of you members of sororities with members of a race other than the majority?

Any advice or information will be greatly appreciated.

as you can see i never said i didn't want to join a black sororities...
i said i don't want to limit myself.
as in i want a chance at more than 4 organizations.

but to give you a better understanding of why i would like to try for more than just those 4:

i've always gone to predominantly white schools.
the majority of my friends are white (the black kids thought i was weird because i "acted white." but that's an inside issue?)
i've always been myself.
i've always acted the same... i uphold the things my BLACK family taught me...

so i can assure you i'm perfectly fine with my race... i know who i am... but i've never been one to sit around and follow the norm.

[please don't take this as me being rude because that's not my intention... but as a whole (i'm not saying all), i've not been accepted within the african-american community because of my PERSONALITY...]
i want to be somewhere that i'll fit in and not have to monitor my natural personality...
