Be just a little careful, Russ. You're heading for some thin ice.
The reasons for declining numbers thirty years ago were more societal than due to a weakness in the system. During and post Vietnam it was "cooler" to be a hippy than a Greek. And the litigious society wasn't totally caused by the Greek System -- it's the same in every walk of life and still building. Risk Management is not just a Greek problem, but is everywhere in business and industry as well.
We did know how to party back in the sixties, but at least in the region where I went to school, you didn't hear about nearly as many deaths, and I can't remember a chapter being closed on our campus in that era.
I'm certainly not saying that we were angels and had the right answers. Hazing was fairly rampant, but nobody had really defined it yet.
We made a lot of mistakes, but I'm not sure your generality would hold up under close scrutiny.
