I just think its more popular to go greek in the south then it is in the north and more emphasis is put on it. I don't know why exactly, but it seems that people who grow up in the south realize/see how "important" it is to be greek and are familiar with the greek system more throughout their lives then people in the north. Going from PA to NC I had no idea about panhellenic, "going greek", or the difference between a local and a national were. I ended up having to do research into who in my family was greek and i was surprised to find that there were family members that were, but who never talked about it.
