I'd say yes, if we're speaking generally. Did you watch the most recent episode, or the pilot?
IF you watched the most recent episode...
One thing that I thought was exaggerated was Rusty's original attitude toward losing his virginity, even if it was to a stranger. I am sure things like that happen, but I haven't personally experienced anything like that. I'm glad he decided to wait until it was special- so really the show is demonstrating a lot of different values and standards for the right time to have sex, which is realistic. And Dale's reaction and his whole Abstinence club thing, while played for laughs on the show, is also something you'll find in college, especially here in the South.
One thing that I think continues to ring really true is the relationship between Cappie and Casey. For them, sex was special the first time they did it... but then later, they hook up again in an attempt for Casey to get back at her boyfriend. I think that having sexual encounters with different levels of meaning and commitment is probably the norm.
And yes, there are lots of freshman sluts like Rebecca Logan who go about trying to find fraternity friends by sleeping their way in.
ETA: I wanted to add that I don't see any difference between the attitude of the general college population and the Greek population when it comes to sex. The only difference is that if you date/hook up within the Greek system, it's a much smaller microcosm with the potential to accidentally upset many, many branches of your social tree. A random hook-up is more likely to be someone's ex-boyfriend or the pledge brother of the guy to whom you lost your virginity.
