I think the size of the school plays a decision. My parents went to Belmont Abbey in NC (Catholic). The school was already very small and having GLO kinda divided the school (my dad's opinion) While everyone would go to parties, groups would often be mean and cruel about pledges
My Aunt was president of the Sig Ep Sister group (Golden Hearts) She black balled my mom, her sister, and her best friend all because they were dating Sig Eps (My dad and my mom's friends husband). Its not a big deal now, but it really hurt my mom at the time. All the girls in all the little sister organizations treated them differently and were snobby. Then the sister group got mad at my dad because they would not break up with the "black balled" pledges.
That was in the late 70's and things have changed. They have small local groups that are made to be more inclusive. I think they have a few small fraternities that don't have campus housing. I think they have changed the system to fit the size of the campus. Everything happens off campus, except on St Patricks day the school has a big party with beer (Gotta love being Catholic)
