I agree, the "so many famous/influential people were Greek" argument is tired.
So is the "she must have rushed and not gotten a bid" retort, or the "a sorority girl must have burned him" et cetera. Those things are rarely true, and they just reinforce the image that we're snotty.
That said, I don't think that emphasizing the drinking is necessarily a bad thing. At many campuses, it's true -- Greeks drink a lot. (Granted, most of the time this happens on campuses where non-Greeks ALSO drink a lot.) To deny it makes us look like we're lying and will mean that any non-Greek who reads the defense will not take it seriously.
