I thought that this was going to be about a different movie from that era, but the one that I was thinking about was called 'Mr. Belvedere Goes to College' (1949) and was pretty positive about Greek life. Mr. Belvedere (Clifton Webb) is a middle aged hasher in a sorority house and it is pretty good movie.
There was a thread some time ago on GC with a photo spread from a magazine (Life maybe) from that era about a very nice sorority house (Tri Delta maybe), who employed student hashers. What I thought was interesting was that the hashers, when they were not working, were considered 'date-able' by the sisters. And this became a story line in the TV show 'Greeks'.
