Knowing guys in the fraternity system at UCLA and UC Berkeley, I am not really sure if a PhD candidate would be admitted to a fraternity even if they were allowed to admit a graduate student (a lot aren't). And to be honest, I am not sure if somebody who is seriously pursuing a PhD would really want to be around a lot of 19 year old guys doing kegstands and dancing with freshmen girls.
That being said, especially at those two schools, Greek life is very integrated. There are some (not many) schools in America where race is still an issue, but in the vast majority of schools (and certainly the two you said you are considering) a student from any race and any socio-economic background would be able to get a bid (pending, of course, that they fit in with the particular chapter).
