I think that you are on track. Sororities were banned in 1944 and didn't start returning until the late 70s. A reason was to provide similar opportunities as the men's fraternities since they were never banned. Other factors that may contribute to the laidback attitude are 1) FR isn't until April (quarter system) and 2) the residence halls provide ample socialization outlets.
