I think the whole "85% of Presidents are Greek, more Greeks graduate yadda yadda" came about in just the past few years, as Greeks felt they had to justify their existence. It used to be "Greek life is OK for others, it's just not for me" or "Greek life is stupid but if they want to waste their time on it, who gives a crap?" Now it's more like "I don't like Greeks and because of this I don't think they should exist even if others want to be one."
That's not just Greek life though, that's a host of other things as well. "Live and let live" seems to be an extinct concept.
I think anti-Greek bias on some campuses comes from the fact that the Greeks might have better/more housing opportunities than independents, but that certainly isn't so everywhere. I also think there's a lot of misconceptions about who is paying for what in GLO's - I'm sure there are people who think if you're in a sorority you live in your house for free or something.
