Since I wasn't greek in college, I can't say whether I suffered post-grad depression related to that but I held office in about three different student activities. Once I graduated, I did feel a little... aimless.. for awhile. I took some post-baccalaureate classes so that I could bring up my GPA before graduate school, but even if you're in undergraduate classes after you graduate, that mental division between you and the other undergrads is very real. You feel it, they feel it, and no one really knows how to get across it (unless you were really good friends before hand).
I think it's understandable to feel that way, because a major chapter of your life is closing, and of course, you're mourning the self you used to be, and are unsure of the self you're becoming. Stay involved with your fraternity as an alum, keep in touch with old university friends as much as possible, and maybe, join the alum association for your college or university. But even more so, accept the changes that are happening with open arms and look at it as another exciting phase of your life starting. Having a positive attitude about it works wonders.
(Of course, I'm having the most extended adolescence possible, since I've been at university for a total of 8 years -- if you include graduate school)
