Okay after reading the responses I have another question...
Can a university be pro-greek with out promoting the Greek system?
Firehouse mentioned Nebraska as a pro-greek school.
I know that we have a very strong, involved Greek system, and I see some instances of where we have things listed that you guys have deemed pro-greek (Example, DU hazing incident in 2001-2002 with pictures that were circulated around through e-mail and eventually reached Greek Affairs and campus paper, surprisingly DU wasn't kicked off campus, or even closed.)
But here's where my question comes from, because I really don't feel that the University other than Greek Affairs promotes the Greek system (maybe Student Involvement since the Assistant Director is one of Gamma Phi's international officers). During HS Senior Visit days, tour guides are instructed not to take their groups to the open Greek houses unless they want to, and if they don't then you are supposed to let them leave and end their day rather than check out the house. However you are supposed to take your group to the dorms if even just one person out of 50 wants to see a dorm, and everyone has to go.
If a HS senior schedules a campus tour through the Office of Admissions they have to ask to see a Greek house, otherwise no offer is extended, and only a passing reference is likely to be given unless the tour guide is Greek, even that reference is sometimes discouraged.
Also at the HS Senior visit days in the morning there is a college fair type set up with the various departments and colleges. Greek Affairs only has the money to give out pencils, while Housing gives out key chains, koozies, tote bags, and more. For every one student who goes to the Greek life table, I bet 35 go to housing...and the student who went to greek life also goes to housing as well.
I guess, Nebraska is Pro-Greek to the established Greeks, but doesn't do a whole lot to attract prospective/future students to the system...obviously this is a positive stance on Greeks, but is it Pro-Greek???
