When I was at New Paltz, the majority population of students were "artsy hippie types" and VERY anti-Greek. I was up there last year though, and the orgs seem to be getting bigger and attracting more members. Unfortunately I don't think any new GLO's have come into existence and last year someone on the school paper wrote a very negative (stereotypical) editorial bashing Greek life at the school. I think in general, wherever you go, in whatever part of the country, you will either be for or against Greek life. Like any other type of committment, a very small percentage of the overall student population will probably end up completing then sticking with an org anyways. For the schools that get a huge turnout, I also think they have a huge student body as well, and if you have houses and a "Greek Row" that is very different than a small school where Greek life is not as recognized or supported.
