At my alma mater, Boston U., the whole system was pretty much decimated in the 1970's. The President of the school sold all of the on-campus Greek housing to MIT, and made it nearly impossible for the system to survive. I think SAE may have been the only one to survive, and they eventually ended up off campus.

In the mid-to-late 1980's, a group of fraternities (including Kappa Sig and Lambda Chi) explored bringing the Greek system back to campus. With the help of faculty members (including a Sigma Chi alum with happy memories of his undergrad days) and a whole lot of work, they got the system going again. By no means is it a huge Greek system, but it's noticable and thriving.
