Most of the people I've encountered who feel as though greeks are "buying friends" are people who are too insecure about themselves to open up to a group of people, be it fraternity brothers or sorority sisters. They feel like they can never be a greek because they won't be accepted. It's sad, but that's how it comes across.
A lot of my friends within my fraternity are in relationships with girls in sororities on campus...namely two sororities. I don't really advocate a fraternity guy going out with a sorority girl. It has nothing to do with them being greek, it's just my view on college relationships in general. However, it seems like the majority of these "greek relationships" work out pretty well because the two people involved seem to "get" each other and understand what each person is about, pertaining to greek life, etc...Greek life being a common ground for a relationship is good in my opinion. I was in a relationship with a sorority girl last year and it didn't work out because she was always partying with another fraternity on campus and I was always partying with my fraternity brothers and other sorority girls at our house...but that's just one isolated incident, so I don't think it would be fair to say that no fraternity guy should ever be involved with a sorority girl or vice versa. You just gotta see what's right for you.
