The answers to your questions are absolutely not, absolutely not, absolutely not, and absolutely not.
There was a thread on here that discussed the "Touched By an Angel" episode. They couldn't even get the rush process right (which is how someone becomes a member...the guy was told to "go and pledge" as if he just had to sign up, which is totally untrue), and it got more ridiculous from there.
The representations of Greek life that you have seen in the media (especially the past few years) are no more realistic than other media interpretations...how much does your high school resemble the ones on Popular or Dawson's Creek? Unfortunately, there is a very real anti-Greek bias in the media and they have become one of the few groups that can be maligned and misinterpreted with very little outcry.
Thanks for coming here and trying to find out more about what Greek life is REALLY like instead of just accepting the media's version of it.
