Sort of a piggy-back onto what NittanyAlum said, many Greeks from the North lie is very liberal areas. We were not raised in as much tradition as we were raised to think outside the box and stir things up a little.
Guys from my high school often pledge houses specifically where they didn't know anyone. They felt that college was often a time to re-create yourself, meet knew people and experience a different culture. Back in time (when I was in school), it was not unusual to see a Christian pledge a traditionally Jewish house. This held true for both sororities and fraternities. We accepted African Americans in nearly every chapter -- this is still taboo in some areas of the country.
Many Big 10 (ok with PSU it's 11) do have strong traditions. It's just a different type of tradition. And, I'm sure if you look real hard, you can find Frattiness. The difference is that Fratty will probably be heckled.
