There is no question that some greek systems are more ethnically diverse than others, so it's hard to say what experience you will have going through recruitment. That said, I have seen Asian women successfully pledge NPC houses all across the country, and go on to take positions of leadership and influence at the national level within their organizations, as alums. No one likes to confront the possibility that rejection could come as a result of race or some other superficial factor. I personally would not let that possibility stop you from finding a great house, because that's really selling yourself short and not giving enough credit to the greek women out there who could really like you as a person and want to get to know you. In general, sorority members want to see top grades, great leadership potential, philanthropic commitment, and a wonderful personality. I agree with OPs that your 3rd year status disadvantages you more than any other factor because they want to recruit younger members who can offer greater longevity in the house. So your job is to highlight the leadership and maturity that you have and that freshmen cannot bring to the table.If you do go through, and are asked why you aren't joining an Asian sorority, you should honestly say that while you have friends in some of those houses, you are looking for a different kind of greek experience. Good luck!
