The administration at Georgia Tech is very supportive of the greek system. In fact, they used to run a PSA on the radio narrated by their dean of students touting the greek system at Tech and how fraternity and sorority members had higher grades, better graduation rates and long term financial contact with the Institute as alumni than unaffiliated students.
One thing that's different with my kids and their friends (living in a big city as opposed to a college town) is that more social life actually happens on campus because it's not so easy to "go out" in Atlanta as it is in Athens where everybody has a fake.
So I really don't know if the argument that you don't need to be greek if your campus is in a large city and there are other things to do really holds true or not. Just an observation.
