One of my good friends is Mormon and she took me and some other friends to the Mormon temple in Apex, NC when it was open to the public. It was a beautiful place although I have to admit that I found some of the things to be very odd, like the huge baptism tub (can't remember what it's called) that rested on a statue of oxen.
We always tease my friend that we don't want her to marry a Mormon boy because then we can't go to her wedding - because it would be in the temple. Seriously though, I kind-of wonder why a Mormon person would marry a non Mormon because they place such a huge emphasis on family and being together as a family even after death once you are in Heaven. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they believe that you don't go to Heaven, or at least the same part of Heaven if you're not Mormon.
As far as Mormons going Greek, my friend went through Recruitment (although she never joined anywhere) so I'm pretty sure that there are no rules about not joing a GLO. Your friend probably frowns on the idea because of the stereotypes associated with being Greek and the strong stance Mormons take against drinking, premarital sex, etc.
