Perhaps I would have gone greek elsewhere, but where I went to school definitely did play a part. I went to a tiny liberal arts college, and greek life is the main thing to do there. You can definitely get involved with other things and keep plenty busy. However, greek life was really THE thing to do when I was a freshman. Anything fun or interesting was going on because a greek house was involved (Derby Days, etc.)
I think that at a large university (especially one without deferred recruitment) I probably wouldn't have bothered. The size of the school (1200 students) and the deferred rush (so I could learn about the greek system and go on coke dates) were a huge factor. No one in my family was greek, and coming into college I was already on the cheerleading team, so I didn't know about greek life or feel a huge need to be involved until I learned about the houses, met the girls, and saw what a huge part greek life played at my school.
