But it is possible, someone just has to be strong enough to do it, and be an example for other possibly greek Christ-like people to follow.

Apparently, you haven't been looking hard enough because you don't want your stance to be refuted. But I know several examples of members of BGLO's that serve their communities with their respective organizations and DON'T attend 'wild parties'. They still enjoy every minute of being in their respective organizations and don't fall into 'peer pressure' because as members they are strong-minded and already know who they are. They did not join an organization to form an identity for themselves, they were already aware of the person they were BEFORE becoming members. If they weren't the partying type before, they weren't the partying type after.
If you are willing to compromise the behaviors and activities that make you feel most comfortable for the sake of being a member of a fraternity or sorority, maybe you need to wait before you pursue membership. The orgs don't make it's members, the members make their org.
