Same with the first phrase of the Star Spangled Banner.

AfroClassy, girl, you got moxie!!! 
I'm a member of a D9 sorority (SGR) and the best advice that I can give you is that I really can not give any specific advice. No one can.
You see, each campus is different. You've got traditional HBCUs and PWIs and commuter campuses that are HBCUs and PWIs.
A very general rule of thumb is that at your more traditional campuses, they will rush in a more traditional way. At the commuter campuses, the rush process may not be as strict. That is not to say that getting in an org at one campus is easier than the other. It is just that each are two sides of the same coin.
My best advice, no matter the campus and org is to pursue the org. If they post flyers of an event, rush event or such, then particiapte. You want to get to know the members and vice versa, but don't be 'stalkerish' about it. If you know one or two members of that org, talk to them in person. Ask them in person. This can not be stressed enough!
So often people come on here wanting all sorts of answers, but really we can't answer them all. We don't know you, your campus, your situation and how the chapters there will handle your situation. So again, then best thing you can do for yourself is to discuss this with a member of the chapter you want to join.

You can run, but you can't hide. You are now up there with Chuck Norris.

Predominately White Institute, or a historically White School. For instance, in Texas that would be UT-Austin, Texas A&M, Univ. of Houston, Baylor (in Waco), Texas Tech. Where the student population is like ~80 % White, ~20% "other".

To add to the smooshed-together-word-phenomenon list, also in the Star Spangled Banner- "dawnsearlynight". When I was smaller, i thought it was "donzerly light" and I never could understand why they put such a large and unknown word in a national anthem. I remember asking my mom what donzerly meant, and since she didnt know, no one possibly would. Ah to be little and sure that your parents are the smartest folks alive again.

To continue the hijack, I've got one too.
In my (Catholic) kindergarten, we learned a simple prayer before snacktime: "God is great, God is good, Let us thank Him for our food". After I learned it, I wanted to try it out at home before dinner. So before we started eating, I began with: "God is great, God is Good"...then reached into the salad bowl, picked up a leaf and said, "Lettuce thank Him for our food". My parents busted out laughing and then tried to explain to me that it was "Let us" and not "Lettuce"
