"Higher standards" is one of those garbage phrases like "values based" that has no real meaning. Ask 25 people what it means, you'll get 25 answers. It's pointless.
There are just as many people out there who are student leaders in some way - be it the student senate prez, the team captain or just the person who knows everyone on campus - who are non-Greek as Greek. They're not necessarily anti-Greek, just Greek life isn't for everyone and it wasn't for them.
If you're at the sort of school where you have no social life if you're not Greek, like DePauw, maybe the "creating tendencies" argument holds water, but on many campuses it's no more reality than the Tooth Fairy.
