After a couple years of living overseas, working and being on his own, he didn't need help in that regard. Many other men seemed to have the same idea. The 60s and 70s were the dark era in Greek life, remember?
Though there was also a social awakening that deemed Greek life as part of the establishment, and thus bad. These men that I'm talking about however, some were the type that liked establishment.

The 60's and 70's were the dark era because people didn't want to be part of something that they thought was "establishment", not because men came back from the service and didn't want to join. If you came back from the service and went onto a college campus in that time period, whether you were in Vietnam or elsewhere, I'm sure you had enough issues and questions thrown at you by your fellow students without joining a fraternity on top of it.
