I'm an Indiana alum, and I can tell you that you don't have to be Greek to be actively involved on campus there. That's one of the good things about a big school like that - there are so many options for involvement. At IU, there are over 750 registered student groups (this per the IU website) - and most of them do not require you to be Greek to get involved.

My sister went to Illinois, had absolutely no interest in going Greek, and still found plenty of things to do on campus.
