Being a New Yorker myself, I would definitely say its not really important if your family was involved in Greek Life. In NYC schools, I find, that people never planned on going Greek until they got to college. Often they didn't know there was greek life at their school till they arrived because they always perceived greek life with the big houses, fraternity row, homecoming and stuff like that, a kind of college culture that really doesn't exist in NYC schools. If someone was groomed all his/her life to join a particular fraternity or sorority he/she would probably not go to school in NYC to begin with.
From what I have heard NYU has a very diverse group of chapters so I am sure you can find your niche. Good luck with recruitment and do keep us updated here on GC!
