spring fraternity rush!

Hello GR,
I plan on rushing in the spring due to realizing I wouldn't have any time during the fall rush period. As a freshmen there was alot of things I had to get used too. I have three main concerns about rushing so if you guys could answer some of my questions It would be greatly appreciated.
My first main concern is my race, I am Indian. I was born in california and lived there my entire life. So my question is, will my race be a factor in determining which fraternities will offer me a bid?
Second,i currently live in the Collins LLC dorm. I originally applied to live there beacuse of its close knit community and its extensive student government. I have found that rather then close knit it is extremely cliquey which is a huge turn off for me. I am though, extremely involved in the student government as I hold positions in both the Executive Board and the Conduct Board. So my question is will my living in collins hinder my chances of getting a bid? Plus will my involvement in the community help me garner a bid?
my third concern is that I have no connections to any fraternity , I have reached out to certain rush chairs of fraternities that I maybe interested it . But is there anything else I can do to increase my chances of getting a bid?
Any advice would be welcome ! Please and thank you!
From,
