Frankly, any of the large flagship public schools in the South will have great to decent departments across the board. Some programs, like Auburn's engineering or Alabama's journalism, really stand out as being exceptional. FSU is known for its music and drama departments, but that doesn't mean you're not going to get a good education if you're a math major. The South has put its money where its mouth is in terms of the quality of the education you'll get from a public college.
If you know you want to be a traditionally Southern Greek school, there's nothing wrong with that being part of your research.

No matter what anyone says, Greek life is secondary. You can make your Greek experience work no matter where you end up. He needs to worry about getting into college before worrying about what Greek life is going to offer.
