While I personally don't see the long-term merits of choosing a school specificially for its Greek System (I was more interested in an academic program that would prepare me for a good career, feeling safe and comfortable in the location and knowing the campus provided a variety of clubs and activities), there are different strokes for different folks. Some just have different priorities.
I would advise anyone looking at colleges and universities to look at the big picture and where you see yourself in 5 years (preferably with a diploma). You should enjoy the time you spend in college, but there are a lot of factors that go into your being happy. If Greek Life is one of them, make it a criteria for school selection... but I wouldn't recommend making that the end-all criteria for your final choice of a university. You DO want to go on to work at a decent job or get into grad school once undergrad is done... so good academics and campus activities are probably a consideration.
