Are they fairly accurate? Probably, within reason and subject to expected reporting errors and glitches.

Fraternities (22% and higher)

Sororities (25% and higher):

The lists don't say anything directly about Greek system "strength" at schools. However, they may spur some thoughts on the topic, or at least remind us of colleges and universities that we didn't have at the forefront of our thinking.
BTW that Ohio Valley U apparently has 5 "social clubs" that each have a men's and women's arm.

This really isn't the best way to do it - of course some places are going to have a big enrollment in fraternities b/c there are more guys (i.e. MIT) & same with the girls. Total Greek would be more telling.
