I know for me, I'd be 100% for taking a woman with a different sexual orientation if she was very open about it because my chapter is really diverse and I love that no matter what race or creed my sisters are, they're great women. Your choice of who you like to spend time with romantically shouldn't play a role in whether or not we think you'd a make a loyal, positive sister. Honestly, sexuality really isn't focused on during sorority recruitment anyways since the whole boys/booze/bills area is touchy so we stray away from it.

Focus on strengthening your personal self first, though--if you're still questioning what kind of label you want to identify as in regards to your orientation, you may need to test the waters first before being really boldly out. Bisexuality is still not even fully accepted in the LBGTQ community so really focus on yourself now and settle into what you are before really coming out with "it" no matter what "it" is.
I can't IMAGINE this coming up in recruitment.

OP, from a Midwesterner's perspective, if you are on a campus that is generally welcoming and supportive of the GLBT community, Greek life on that campus will probably also be welcoming and supportive of gay or lesbian members. I'm old enough to be your mom and I knew a bunch of gay or lesbian Greeks when I was in college.

Mileage may vary from campus to campus, but it's not a hard question to check out when you are doing campus tours. Every campus should have a coordinator of student life who can answer your questions.
