Kinda back on topic. Sorry Sen!!!
In Texas (and the South maybe?) state schools are considered land grant institutions. Something about them being established after the Civil War.
As far as my alma mater, Texas A&M, the greek scene is not very popular. It has become a bit more popular over the last few years though. From 1876 - ~1965, A&M was all male, all white, all military. So, for a loooonngg time only the Corps of Cadets (the military unit of A&M) was considered the only 'fraternity' on campus. So, I think the greek system at A&M is getting stronger, but probably compared to other campuses, it is not that strong and/or has a strong influence on campus.
