It really depends on the type of chapter you want to join. If you're looking to join the larger, traditional, more "fratty" chapters then yes- wearing Abercrombie/Aeropostale will hurt your chances but you should be fine with Polo and Lacoste. As long as you aren't wearing anything from their more trendy lines (stay away from big graphics like this)
I would stick to conservative clothing at UF. Khaki shorts or slacks (depending on the event), solid color polos, button-ups, etc.
Being Asian might put you at a disadvantage depending on the chapter.
Just act natural and let the conversation flow. If you try too hard, it'll be obvious.
ETA: No cargo shorts!!

Although if you can pull off the cargo short/jort combo you might get bonus points.

Holy shit, EW. I hope the tag inside those things says 3T, because there is no other excuse for their existence.

I looked to see if Tim Tebow's middle name started with a T so I would understand your reference but apparently it is not.
Tim Tebow should come up with a "Canadian Tuxedo" line that him and all his fans could wear.
And to the OP... wear classic clothes with classic themes (i.e. no flaming skulls or a t-shirt with a goddamn mural on the back of it of horses and tigers fighting each other and a bunch of dragons), be comfortable in your conversation, and act normal. Your ethnicity may be a point of contention for some fraternities within the system, but may not be for many of them.

Ah- so that is what jorts means. Back in my time we called them boyfriend shorts- and it was probably the #1 way clothing-wise to never get a bid at my house. Luckily, there was no Abercrombie back then.

Basically nothing I can say hasn't already been said except that it might help to ask them about their organization (basic stuff like history, what sort of stuff they do, traditions, etc) for two reasons. First, you want to get a feel for what sort of group they are and what they hold to be important. Second, in my experience my brothers love talking about our org, and it makes us feel like you're an intelligent person for inquiring.
One thing I will say is do keep an open mind. At a massive competitive SEC school like Florida you'll likely hear words like "top-tier," "middle-tier," etc thrown around a bit. This is mostly crap, and almost always relative to the individual's taste and opinions. Find the people you like and bugger what anyone else says about them; if you're with people you enjoy being around, you'll have fun regardless.
