I was doing some surfing and came across an article from 2000 with this quote:

The Chronicle of Higher Education recently noted that overall fraternity membership is down as much 30 percent. At particular universities, the numbers are even more startling. Michigan State University, for example, has suffered a 50 percent decline in Greek membership over the past nine years.

The whole article is here:

That pretty much lines up with what I had originally written in answer to the question.
