Chapters will not (should not) discriminate against anyone based on their ethnicity or the fact that they are international. When you arrive on campus, you can go through the formal recruitment process and through that you will find what chapter is best for you.
The most important thing to remember about all of the stereotypes is that you control yourself and your actions. If you join a sorority, those other members will be your sisters, and that connection is more important than if you drink or smoke. I have a great deal of respect for the sisters in my chapter who choose to uphold such values.
I came to college not wanting to be Greek, and the experience has been invaluable. You meet amazing people, learn things about yourself and others, have the opportunity to particpate in events you had never dreamed of, and you have a sisterhood for life, not just the one year you're in the US.
Good Luck!!
