Did Greeks change the culture at UK? It depends on how you view it.
At UK, it was a Greek supportive Administration and Alumni Association that implemented the proactive policy.
The feeling was that this was not a Greek community specific issue, but the culture of the times and as such, the campus as well. While Greeks weren't singled out, they seemed to be on the front line due to the social aspect associated with being Greek.
And grated, it wasn't initially supported by the UK Greek community. However, UK's Greek Alumni were made to understand the benefits of doing this and they in turn made sure that their chapters understood.
The outcome was that not only did it insure that the Greek community would survive, but flourish at UK.
