My school doesn't allow you to rush until after your first term. If you decide to go to a school, be sure and check for that. I mean in high school I graduated with a 5.4 on a 4.0 scale (all AP's and such) and it didn't mean squat for me. Now I dream of a day when I will get a 4.0 for even one term (nature of my school and chosen major).
Just worry about the school first, seriously. I would never eliminate a school simply because of greek life. Remember that if a school does not have greek life, there is usually something that acts similar to it or goes in its place.
For instance, at certain Ivy schools, they have secret societies and "schools" based on where they live. EVen where I go you can live in a residential college. They have IM teams, weekly events, meetings, socials, and everything else. You even have to do an application for the house you want. I did it my freshman year, but then decided to go with the small house (<37 ppl) system where I would have a single. The systems are like "Harry Potter" and where he lives - it acts like a society.
Go with where you feel at home and it will become home.
